Trying to Decide if Concierge Medicine Is Right for You?
Healthcare That Actually Works for You
Thinking about switching to concierge care? Here’s how this model offers more access, better prevention, and deeper doctor-patient relationships—especially for those who value their time and health.
You’ve probably heard about concierge medicine or membership-based healthcare—maybe from a friend, a podcast, or while researching alternatives to the traditional primary care model. And now you’re wondering: Is this actually something I should consider?
It sounds appealing—longer visits, direct access to your doctor, same-day appointments, a more personalized approach. But you might also be thinking:
“Is concierge medicine too expensive?”
Let’s reframe that.
Concierge medicine isn’t a luxury; it’s an investment. You're investing in personalized, proactive healthcare that prioritizes your long-term well-being—not just quick fixes when you're sick.
If you’re spending money on co-pays, urgent care visits, health apps, or supplements that don’t deliver, a membership-based practice can actually be a more efficient—and often more affordable—way to care for your health.
“I’m not sure if I can afford it.”
That’s a reasonable question—and one many people ask. But often, when patients take a closer look at their monthly spending, they realize that affordable concierge care is within reach.
If your health is a top priority, this model makes it easier to stay on track, get answers, and feel your best. You might need to rethink how you allocate certain funds—but isn’t it worth it when the return is your energy, your clarity, your peace of mind?
“What makes concierge medicine different?”
Everything.
Traditional primary care doctors often see 2,000+ patients. At our concierge practice, we care for a much smaller group— around 300 patients each. That means:
Appointments are longer and more in-depth.Up to 90 minutes.
You get direct access to your doctor, including after-hours communication via text or phone call
We have the time and space to build a real doctor-patient relationship, not just a chart.
We focus on prevention, lifestyle, and long-term health instead of rushing through symptoms and prescribing bandaids
It’s healthcare the way it should be: thoughtful, personal, and built around you.
“What if I’m already pretty healthy?”
That’s the perfect time to join. The best healthcare is proactive, not reactive.
Concierge medicine supports you in staying healthy, managing stress, building muscle, sleeping better, navigating perimenopause or hormone changes, and aging with strength and intention. You don’t have to wait for something to go wrong to start taking better care of yourself.
