The answer to this is far-reaching, but one example is cardiovascular screening. Women often see their OB/GYN for only targeted “well woman exams,” and men often skip the doctor altogether or seek specialist care for routine issues. This has led to fragmentation of healthcare. At Concierge Family Medicine, we take a comprehensive approach to your healthcare.

There are many reasons, but statistically speaking, regular screening increases your lifespan. By delving into your complete history, performing a thorough exam, and checking specific labs, we screen you for illnesses that have no obvious symptoms and become harder to treat over time. If we control such illnesses early, we can often prevent complications.

Included in your annual fee are unlimited office visits. We encourage our patients to come in early and often, rather than waiting until they’re very ill.

Our physical exam is very thorough, requiring up to an hour and a half. It includes a comprehensive review of your full medical, personal, and family history, as well as the exam itself, a battery of lab work, and other advanced testing.

Most importantly, it’s about time. Not only do we run consistently on time, which is important for our patients, but every visit is unhurried, allowing patients the time to thoroughly discuss their concerns. This also allows us to explain the “why” behind treatment choices, helping educate and empower our patients.  It’s about time.

When we uncover serious medical issues that require specialist care, we help expedite the referral process—often contacting the specialist the same day to secure the earliest possible appointment. We can also review specialist records with you if needed.
