What is concierge medicine?
Concierge medicine is a highly personalized model of care built around an enduring relationship between patient and physician. By limiting the size of the practice, your doctor is able to provide unhurried visits, direct access, and thoughtful, proactive oversight of your health particularly when it matters most.
How is concierge medicine different from traditional primary care?
Traditional primary care is often shaped by insurance-driven volume and time constraints. Concierge medicine is intentionally different. It allows for deeper clinical insight, continuity, and availability, so that when serious or complex health issues arise, your physician already knows you well and can act decisively on your behalf.
What services are included in the concierge membership?
Membership includes comprehensive medical care, preventive planning, extended and in-depth visits, medication management, and close coordination with specialists. Care is longitudinal and relationship-based, designed to support both everyday health and moments of medical complexity.
Do you accept insurance?
The practice does not bill insurance for the concierge membership fee. Insurance may still be used for laboratory testing, imaging, medications, and specialist care, depending on your plan. This structure allows medical decisions to be guided by clinical judgment rather than billing requirements.
Why do patients choose concierge medicine?
Patients often choose concierge medicine because they value access, discretion, and clinical judgment rooted in a deep understanding of their health. When illness becomes serious or decisions are complex, having a physician who knows your history and has the time to advocate for you may make a meaningful difference.
What is precision or personalized medicine?
Precision medicine moves beyond population averages to focus on the individual. Care is informed by your medical history, lifestyle, advanced diagnostics, and evolving health data, allowing recommendations to be tailored with greater nuance and foresight.
How does the practice approach preventive care?
Prevention is approached with rigor and discernment. This includes thoughtful risk assessment, evidence-based screening, early detection strategies, and long-term planning aimed at preserving health and function.
Do you coordinate care with specialists and hospitals?
Yes. The practice provides active care coordination and physician advocacy, helping to navigate referrals, interpret complex recommendations, and ensure continuity across specialists and health systems.
How long are your appointments?
Appointments are intentionally unhurried, allowing time for careful evaluation, meaningful discussion, and shared decision-making without the pressure of a clock.
Is concierge medicine appropriate if I am currently healthy?
Many patients join while healthy, viewing the practice as a long-term investment in prevention, oversight, and continuity so that a trusted physician is already in place should health concerns arise.
How do I Begin?
Getting started begins with a confidential introductory conversation to ensure the practice is the right fit. Enrollment and onboarding are personalized, discreet, and designed to be straightforward.
