Andy Ellner

Every team needs a steady hand to show the way. Your Firefly physician (or PCP) coordinates and personalizes your care to meet your specific needs.

Background

I believe everyone deserves high-quality primary care. With my years in practice and having served as the founding co-director of Harvard Medical School’s Center for Primary Care and their Program in Global Primary Care and Social Change, I’ve seen enough to know where the system falls short. That’s why I started Firefly — to offer people easy access to exceptional primary care providers.
