TAMPA, FL — January 7, 2026 — DevotedDOc, a national physician-led virtual medical group, today announced the expansion of its virtual addiction clinic into California, bringing personalized, expert telehealth services to patients and partner organizations across the state. DevotedDOc focuses on high-need care where continuity matters, particularly addiction treatment and complex medical support that is delivered by experienced clinicians using streamlined technology designed to remove barriers to care and address social disparities that prevent access. 

DevotedDOc’s California launch strengthens the company’s national footprint and expands access to its core programs: a Virtual Addiction Care Clinic, specialty consultation support, and rapid virtual medical visits designed for the most vulnerable patients who need care that is both accessible and clinically sound.

“California is a priority for us—there’s a significant need, high clinical complexity, and persistent gaps in access to care,” said Dr. Matthew Berrios, DO, Founder and CEO of DevotedDOc. “DevotedDOc is built to provide expert, personalized virtual care with the clinical rigor patients deserve.”

What DevotedDOc Offers in California

Virtual Addiction Care Clinic

Designed and led by board-certified addiction physicians, we deliver comprehensive, continuity-focused care for opioid use disorder and related substance use conditions, including medication treatment, mental health screening, home UDS, lab coordination, remote monitoring, and secure patient communication, backed by robust compliance. 

Specialty Consultation Support

Faster access to specialist input for complex cases, supporting both individual patients and partner teams who need expert guidance without long delays.

Rapid Virtual Medical Visits

DevotedDOc was built with enterprise-level clinical infrastructure: integrated lab access through Quest and Labcorp, coordinated diagnostics and follow-up, and interoperability that allows our clinicians to access and collaborate across the majority of U.S. EHR systems for comprehensive integrated care. 

A Key Differentiator: Pharmacy Follow-Through

Virtual care often breaks down after the visit, when patients cannot obtain medications due to access barriers, pharmacy friction, inventory issues, or lack of guidance on next steps. DevotedDOc’s model is built to reduce that drop-off by emphasizing:

  • Clear medication plans and follow-up, not “one-and-done” prescribing
  • Flexible routing to local pharmacies when fulfillment barriers arise
  • Coordinated pharmacy support options, including delivery workflows where appropriate, to reduce transportation and access barriers
  • Clinically disciplined prescribing aligned with safety and regulatory expectations

“Our job is not just to complete a visit,” said Dr. Berrios. “It’s to make sure patients can follow through, especially when the pharmacy is the sticking point. Suboxone access should not be slowed down by avoidable friction.”

DevotedDOc prioritizes timely pharmacy support and clear next steps so patients are not left waiting days for treatment.

Built for Partnerships

DevotedDOc’s California expansion is designed to complement existing systems and support organizations that need more clinical capacity without rebuilding their infrastructure. DevotedDOc works alongside correctional settings, nonprofits, safety-net programs, and employer partners,s integrating into existing workflows while adding specialist-backed expertise.
