Concierge Internal Medicine & Sports Medicine in Naples, FL
Dedicated, insightful, thorough and compassionate care from Dr. Charlene DeLuca, an Internal Medicine physician with a fellowship in Primary Care Sports Medicine and more than 20 years of experience.
Why Dr. DeLuca became a doctor
“I spent enough time as a child in the back seat of my father’s car while he took me on house calls and on rounds in the hospital, to know that I wanted to become a doctor when I grew up.”
Her father was a well-known pediatrician in Rhode Island who cared for several generations of children. After training in Internal Medicine and Sports Medicine, practicing in the Washington, DC area and serving as a hospitalist in Naples, Dr. DeLuca opened her concierge practice in the fall of 2014 because she missed the ongoing patient and doctor relationship.

Peace of mind for patients and their families
We are so fortunate our Mother had the wisdom to enroll in Dr. DeLuca’s concierge medical practice. Dr. DeLuca’s dedicated, insightful, thorough and compassionate care for our Mother has been a blessing to our entire family. Prior to Dr. DeLuca, the plethora of doctors and diagnoses and prescriptions was becoming unmanageable. There was no communication among physicians and scheduling timely appointments was very difficult. Dr. DeLuca is readily accessible and meticulously coordinates all medical care for our Mother as needs arise. Since my siblings and I are spread across the United States we have peace of mind that our Mom has a single medical professional overseeing her medical care. Dr. DeLuca’s guidance on medical issues has been invaluable. We have no doubt our Mom will live longer, healthier and happier due to Dr. DeLuca’s involvement and we can feel confident that our Mom is getting the best medical care available. Dr. DeLuca practices medicine at its very finest. Our only regret is that we did not meet Dr. DeLuca years ago!
Kris“Dr. DeLuca is a very professional, knowledgeable, and caring doctor. She is our family doctor in the truest sense of the phrase, she knows us as people as well as our medical history and listens to our concerns. She is conservative in her approach and takes time to explain her findings and recommendations. She is “the best”!”
“My wife and I have partnered with Dr. DeLuca and her staff for over 5 years. In that time, Dr. DeLuca correctly diagnosed me with appendicitis and sent me from her office directly to the hospital for surgery. She took a call from me concerning my wife literally at midnight on New Year’s Eve! The staff is very welcoming and responsive, and we are confident that we have a knowledgeable advocate for our healthcare needs.”
“Numerous people have hesitations about signing up with a concierge doctor… My experience with Dr. DeLuca is that it has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made in Naples. She was referred to us by a close friend who gave Dr. DeLuca very high regards also! How many doctors call you from their personal cell phone on a Saturday night at 7 PM? That’s the type of service you will get from Dr. DeLuca… She cares! And if she is not immediately available… her staff will get involved and make things happen quickly… Another benefit is getting additional doctor recommendations… The eye doctor she referred me to was wonderful. It makes me feel much safer whether I am in Naples or another state that Dr. DeLuca is a phone call away!”
