Five Major Benefits of switching to concierge medicine:
#1 Better patient-physician relationships
Concierge medicine facilitates the development of a personal bond between you and your physician. With more direct access, you’re likely to develop a more trusting and familiar relationship, which may make you more willing to follow recommendations for preventive care.
#2 Immediate and constant access
When a medical emergency like a stroke or heart attack occurs, there’s often little question that something is wrong and immediate care is necessary. However, when you have a condition that causes vague or common symptoms, it may not be so clear that medical attention is immediately needed.
#3 Little to no wait time to schedule an appointment
Because concierge physicians limit the number of patients they accept, they have more control over their availability. Your status as a concierge patient assures your access to same-day appointments so you can address your concerns and conditions without delay
#4 More time with your physician
The pressure to complete an office visit within a short timeframe may represent missed opportunities for patient education and advice. The extra time a concierge physician spends with you allows for a more thorough examination rather than simply targeting your “chief complaint,” or your primary reason for the visit.
#5 Greater access to a primary care doctor
Patients enrolled in concierge medical care typically experience fewer hospitalizations and receive more preventive services. With greater access to a primary care doctor, the need for visits to the emergency room is significantly reduced. You can also receive support for your diet and fitness goals so you can live a healthier lifestyle and lower future medical costs.
