The System Is Broken — But You Already Know That
If you’ve ever felt like a number at your doctor’s office — rushed through a 7-minute appointment, barely asked about your symptoms let alone your story — you’re not imagining it. That’s the hamster wheel of traditional medicine. And I’ve been on it.
As a former primary care doctor managing over 3,400 patients, I saw firsthand how the system wears down both doctor and patient. Quick visits. Band-aid fixes. Zero time for root-cause thinking. I knew there had to be another way — one that honors the complexity of human health and gives patients the care they deserve.
What Is Concierge Medicine?
Concierge medicine is a personalized, membership-based care model that puts the relationship back at the center of healthcare. Patients pay an annual fee in exchange for:
- Direct access to their physician — often via text, phone, or same-day appointments
- Extended visits (30–60+ minutes)
- Prevention-first care: labs, lifestyle, supplements, and root-cause insight
- Support for body, mind, and long-term vitality
It’s care that’s proactive, not reactive. Personalized, not protocolized.
Why the Hamster Wheel Doesn’t Work
Most doctors see 20–30 patients a day. That means less than 10 minutes per visit — barely enough time to listen, let alone educate or strategize.
Under that model:
- Prevention takes a back seat
- Burnout skyrockets (for doctors and patients)
- Symptoms get managed, not understood
- Patients feel unseen, unheard, and unmotivated
It’s not that the doctors don’t care. It’s that they’re trapped in a system that rewards volume, not value.
What Personalized Care Looks Like
In my practice, every patient gets:
- Time — 60-minute annuals, 30–45 minute follow-ups, and no waiting room marathons
- Precision — from genomic data to hormone mapping, we treat the whole person
- Access — text me when you’re sick or stressed, and I’ll respond directly
- Continuity — I coordinate with your specialists and care team
- Wellness strategy — nutrition, sleep, movement, brain health, and emotional resilience
And most importantly, we build a partnership. One rooted in trust, transparency, and transformation.
What This Means for You
When you invest in concierge medicine, you’re not just buying access — you’re reclaiming your agency. You’re choosing:
- More energy, clarity, and vitality
- Early detection over late-stage intervention
- Empowered decisions with a physician who knows you
- A future where you don’t just survive — you thrive
Because health isn’t a transaction. It’s a relationship. And you deserve one that sees you, hears you, and helps you rise.
