The Benefits Of Concierge Medicine

Now more than ever, we have seen more people frustrated with the current health system. Even the ability to see a provider doesn't seem like it can come without months of waiting. That is one of the reasons that makes concierge medicine so appealing.  Concierge medicine, or private medicine, provides patients with comprehensive, individualized and coordinated care under the direct supervision of a world-class, board certified physician. Here are just a few benefits of choosing concierge medicine:

• Availability - As we mentioned earlier, it can seem impossible to get an appointment with your provider that doesn’t require a lot of waiting.  Concierge physicians attend to an average of 200 patients, unlike primary care physicians (PCPs), who handle an average of between 2,000 and 4,000 patients.

• Attentive Care - This is another benefit that comes along with seeing a physician that doesn’t have such an extreme patient load. You have a physician that actually knows you and your situation. Concierge physicians have more time to devote to each and every one of their patients.

• Communication - Many times when it comes to Concierge medicine, you most likely have 24/7 communication with your physician. Whether it is by text, email or phone, the accessibility to your physician cannot be matched by standard healthcare facilities.
