They are providing me medication with care at the highest level of comfort. Their wellness program allows me to have a direct access to my personal physician via phone and email, but also in the emergency situation which I had because of having a heart attack, physician came home and also were present in the emergency room to expedite my care. They provided me a patient care concierge who managed all my transportation and accommodation. All this meant a lot to me when it comes to health.

I opened one of the first concierge practice in the country 8 years ago. It is a rewarding and satisfying way to practice the kind of medicine that I was trained to do. I have TIME to do the right thing. I am not burdened by regulations, paperwork or meddlesome third-party payers. If primary care medicine has any real future, it is not in maintaining the status quo.<BR/><BR/>Steven D.
