Medical Coats

The lab coat is the medical practitioner's most important furnishing, yet little attention has been paid to the quality of the lab coat...until now. Under the ownership of a practicing physician, On Call Medical Coats has partnered with Aetna Shirt, an American manufacturer of international designer-quality men's dress and formal shirts, to produce the finest white coats available.

We are not re-sellers of mass-produced commodity-grade lab coats made by any third party, and no third parties or uniform stores re-sell our coats. We make our own lab coats to a higher standard of quality, and we only sell direct to the profession.

Our lab coats have larger outside pockets, three inside pockets, smaller stitches(more stitches per inch), reinforced pocket corners, sewn down front facings, and topstitching of the sleeves, shoulders and back. Our coats are manufactured in the U.S.A. We provide fast turnaround and personal service with every order.

Since we sew the coats from fabric, we are able to create custom sizes for a more tailored fit, including sleeve and length shortening and lengthening, extra pockets, and we can make coats in special color fabrics.

Coat Care And Use
Suggestions for caring for your medical coats.

MY WHITE COAT RITUAL Gregory L. Henry, MD, FACEP James Mills MD Memorial Lecture American College of Emergency Physicians 1998 Scientific Assembly San Diego, California Every time I put on the [white] coat, I stop for two minutes. I stop for two minutes and remember Galen and Hippocrates. I pick up the coat: "to whatever house I shall enter, it shall be for the benefit of the sick." At that moment I am Doctor of Medicine; I carry with me a 2500 year tradition, and shame on me if I do not carry it out with dignity for the next eight hours. My problems are not the patient's problems. For that period of time, I am the agent and servant of the patient - I am proud to be the servant of the sick. I put on that coat and I'm a better person. All my petty prejudices should disappear when the coat goes on. That's what the coat is all about.
