Sound Familiar?
You've Tried Everything. The Pain Is Still There.
You've been to specialists. You've taken the medications. Some helped for a while. Some made things worse. And still — the chronic pain, the sleepless nights, the anxiety that won't quiet down — you're still carrying it.
You've heard that medical cannabis might help, but you're not sure if it's right for you. You don't want to feel like a drug seeker. You don't know if your insurance will cover it. You're not even sure it's completely legitimate.
We hear this from patients every day. And we can help.
The PremierMD Difference
This Is Medicine. And You Deserve a Real Doctor.
We are not a certification kiosk. We are a full-service family medicine and psychiatry practice that has been serving New Jersey patients since 2006 — over 20 years. Dr. Boguslavsky was among the first physicians in NJ to participate in the NJMMP when the program launched, and our team has certified thousands of patients.
When you come to PremierMD, you're seen by a licensed physician who reviews your history, answers your questions, and builds a treatment plan with you — not just for you.

Your Physician
David Boguslavsky, MD
Board Certified — Family Medicine & Medical Acupuncture · RWJMS · UCLA Helms Institute
Dr. Boguslavsky founded PremierMD in 2006 — nearly two decades before most physicians had heard of medical cannabis certification. When New Jersey launched the NJMMP, he was among the first family medicine physicians in the state to register, driven by a conviction that cannabis care belongs in a real medical practice, not a telehealth kiosk.
He has personally certified thousands of NJ patients, and every provider on the PremierMD team has been trained under his clinical standards: review the full history, meet patients where they are, build a plan together — and accept their insurance.
"These patients — elderly patients on fixed incomes, veterans with PTSD, people with chronic illness — they needed a real doctor who would bill their insurance and take care of them properly. That's what we built."Our story & philosophy
