Regulating your health is not easy – especially if you have chronic health conditions, certain risk factors for diseases, or take multiple medications to manage existing ones. If this applies to you, the best thing to do is find a concierge doctor to support your health.
Traditional Primary Care
Most people are used to scheduling appointments several days or weeks ahead of time with their primary care physician (PCPs). Most PCPs see dozens of patients every day and rarely have appointment availability on short notice. The day passes with the staff racing to stay on schedule by limiting the time each patient spends with the doctor, so more patients can follow. This means that when you need to see a doctor for a sudden illness, you are very unlikely to see your PCP right away. It also means that you will likely be rushed in and out of the office and won’t get the opportunity to discuss your overall health and goals in detail. Ensuring your long-term health remains optimal requires frequent evaluation of your symptoms and incorporation of measures for improvement.
How is Concierge Medicine Different?
Everyone deserves high-quality healthcare at their convenience. This is exactly what concierge medicine delivers. With concierge medicine, you get VIP quality healthcare delivered by an attentive, caring, and friendly doctor who has an in-depth understanding of your needs. Concierge doctors have a flexible schedule and cater to their patient base. An annual flat-retainer allows them to limit the number of patients they take on, which allows more time for each patient. Your doctor will be available when you need, regardless of whether you catch a cold, have a sinus infection, or need help with new bothersome symptoms.
A concierge doctor can do wonders in improving your overall health. Concierge doctors get to know patients on a personal level – not by a patient file, but by the person in front of them. You will have peace of mind knowing your doctor fully understands your health and that you can rely on an expert whenever something comes up.
Preventive Care
Traditionally, healthcare is reactive. Patients schedule appointments with their doctors only when they feel sick or need checkups and vaccinations. Concierge doctors offer a more reliable and personal approach. They can see their patients more frequently and recommend preventive care measures to reduce the risk of issues developing in the future. Examples of this include frequent blood work, cancer screenings, weight management, and lifestyle improvement guidance.
