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.
My concierge practice allows me to offer longer appointment times and enhanced healthcare services.
The goal in my concierge practice is to prevent pulmonary disease from worsening with a blend of comprehensive patient education, early intervention and frequent follow up. These strategies require time and continuous commitment, all of which are the cornerstone of the concierge model.
