Find out how we can help you
Exclusively for physicians and their families
More than 38,0001 physician households trust MD Financial Management (MD) to understand and anticipate their financial needs. Why?

Working with MD includes
We understand your career in medicine. We understand the finances of physician families.

MD has been helping physicians like you achieve financial peace of mind since 19694
“ I’ve been working with MD since 1982 and appreciate the broad range of financial planning expertise they bring to the table. No one is going to care as much about your money as you, but MD comes a close second. Many companies don’t really get how our practices are run and the issues we face as physicians; the personal care I get from my MD Private Investment Counsel Advisor is outstanding, and I’m proud to call him my trusted advisor and friend. ”
“ I liken my relationship with MD as similar to the longitudinal relationships we have with patients in family medicine, from childhood to adulthood. During these past few years, I got married, bought a house and had my first child. May’s advice and counselling during these key milestones has been invaluable. As with patient-centred care, May listens to me, has gotten to know my values, and truly involves me in all aspects of my finances. ”
“ A few years ago, when we were planning to retire, we wanted to simplify our financial life. Although we had been with MD for more than 30 years, it wasn't our only financial institution. We wanted an organization that would do everything for us — so we don't have to think about it. MD helped us put our affairs in order and manage our estate properly. Now, things are set up the way we want and we don't have to worry about anything; we're in good hands. ”
