Dr. Dorman earned his undergraduate degree from the University of South Alabama in 1993 and his medical degree from the University of South Alabama College of Medicine in 1997. He completed his family practice residency at Halifax Medical Center in Daytona Beach in 2000 and has practiced in the Palm Coast community ever since.
Over the last two decades, Dr. Dorman has helped grow Palm Coast Family Practice into a true community clinic — one that opens seven days a week, accepts most major insurance plans, and offers pay-per-visit and Direct Primary Care options for patients who prefer to work outside the traditional insurance model. His approach combines the continuity of a small-town family doctor with the accessibility of modern urgent care.
Dr. Dorman lives in Palm Coast with his wife and four children. Outside the office, he’s an avid runner and a regular at local 5K races. He’s also proud of the practice’s unofficial mascots — the office support pups that greet patients during visits.
Dr. Dorman provides comprehensive primary care for adolescents, adults, and seniors, including:
Dr. Dorman believes the best medicine happens when a physician has time to listen.
His patients consistently describe visits that feel unrushed, conversations where questions actually get answered, and a willingness to explain the “why” behind every recommendation.
For patients managing chronic conditions, he focuses on building realistic, personalized plans rather than one-size-fits-all protocols.
