What is concierge medicine?
Concierge or VIP patients have the privilege of longer appointments, direct communication with the physician by cell phone, and guaranteed same-day appointments which can relieve them from the common frustrations encountered in traditional medical care.
Telemedicine offers our VIP patients the ease and convenience of medical care from the privacy of their home.
Concierge medicine offers both patient and provider the time and space to share, relate and find common ground. It allows for a more human, less pressured and time-constrained relationship between provider and patient. It is not subject to the dictates of a stressed health care system which doesn't place the provider-patient relationship in the forefront, but rather restores medical delivery to its natural beauty and form.
Be treated like a VIP. No more hassles with better quality care.
