Unmistakably patient-centeredWelcome to my personalized medicine practice
What is personalized medicine?
In a personalized/concierge medicine practice, the doctor makes a commitment to limit the number of patients to ensure adequate time and availability for each patient, and to provide an enhanced level of care.
Extended, unrushed visits enable physicians to spend meaningful time with patients, build relationships, and provide more comprehensive, proactive care than in traditional practices. To make this possible, the patient pays an annual fee.
Why did you convert your practice to concierge medicine?
I love practicing medicine. The greatest gift I have been given is the power to connect with patients, interpret their needs, and provide just the right amount of guidance. However, my concern with healthcare today is the lack of time… there is never enough of it to do as much as I would like for every patient and care for them proactively, not reactively.
Converting my practice to a concierge medicine model given me the ability to offer longer appointment times, more availability, and enhanced healthcare services.
I am creating an environment that is warm, welcoming and unmistakably patient-centered. At every visit, during every phone call, before hours or after, patients will know that their concerns are all that matter to me.
