What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine, also known as boutique or personalized medicine, offers a more personalized and attentive approach to health care. With concierge medicine, patients have more time with their provider, shorter appointment wait times, and access to services and treatments without medical insurance interference. 

This type of care often includes comprehensive wellness assessments, advanced diagnostic testing, and personalized treatment plans that address a patient's unique concerns. 

While concierge medicine may involve additional fees or membership costs, many patients find that the benefits of personalized and attentive care are well worth the investment.

What’s the difference between concierge medicine and traditional medicine?

One of the key differences between concierge medicine and traditional medicine is the level of personalized care, and attention patients receive. In traditional medicine, doctors may see dozens of patients per day and have limited time to spend with each one, leading to shorter appointments and less individualized care. 

In contrast, concierge medicine providers typically see fewer patients and have more time to devote to each one, allowing for more thorough assessments and personalized treatment plans.
