Concierge Primary Care

Through our Concierge Primary Care program, patients pay an annual membership fee to receive direct, quick access to a highly attentive primary care doctor. Our physicians work to thoroughly understand your lifestyle and health history to help guide you through every step of your health and wellness journey.

Who Can Enroll In The Concierge Primary Care Program

This program is ideal for:

• People who want to prioritize preventive health and wellness
• People with busy schedules
• People who travel frequently and need reliable access to their doctor while traveling
• People who value consistency and care about who is taking care of them
• People who are looking for an easier way to communicate with their care team
• People with chronic diseases

What To Expect During A Concierge Primary Care Visit

You will see your doctor at a minimum of every 12 months for a 45-to-120-minute visit in a comfortable, welcoming office environment. 

During these visits you may:

• Address any medical issues or symptoms you’ve been experiencing
• Receive health education and wellness counseling
• Talk about your diet and lifestyle. Your primary care doctor can also arrange separate consultations with a dietitian or exercise physiologist.
• Discuss the latest clinical guidelines and prevention strategies for improving your health

People with chronic diseases will have more frequent scheduled touchpoints with their doctor for disease management and medication monitoring. For example, our doctors see patients with diabetes at least four times per year and patients with high blood pressure at least twice per year.

Outside of annual checkups, it is quick and easy to schedule a sick visit with your doctor, with appointments available on a same-or-next day basis.

We offer free parking for all concierge medicine patients at all locations.
