The Doctors Company Protects Florida Doctors

With The Doctors Company, doctors are members, not policyholders—and unlike commercial insurers that reward shareholders, we reward our members. Founded and led by physicians since 1976, The Doctors Company has a long history in Florida.

We are committed to providing you with the best imaginable service, plus unrivaled resources to reduce risk and avoid claims—including 24/7 support.
