Concierge medicine is an in-demand and much-loved medical care delivery method for proactive patients who want access to medical care on their own terms. Traditional primary care does not offer the attentive, personalized medical care that patients want. This is due to the high volume of patients seen by most doctors today. Concierge medicine solves this problem by limiting the number of patients a doctor sees, made possible by an annual retainer paid by the patients.
Dr. Milli Santorufo offers her patients outstanding concierge care, which individualizes and prioritizes screening and prevention, along with easy access to care whenever needed and open communication.
Here’s how your health can benefit from concierge medicine.
Never Wait to Talk to Your Doctor
A concierge primary care physician offers direct communication via cell phone, text, email, or in-office visits – 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. This innovative medical model gives patients access to care and treatment for a wide range of acute and chronic conditions, along with wellness and cancer screenings and care plans, which feature:
- Next-day and same-day, no-wait appointments that last 45 minutes or longer
- Physical examinations that are detailed and conversational
- Complete and honest answers to questions and concerns
- Telehealth visits for your convenience and safety
- Point of care tests and lab work when required
Your Doctor Will Coordinate Specialty Care
If your condition requires hospitalization or you need a referral for a specialist, physical therapy, chiropractic services, or other specialties, your concierge medicine doctor will coordinate appointments, referrals, documentation, and whatever else you need for a smooth transition. Additionally, your primary care doctor will follow through on test and treatment results, receiving updates on your condition, and communicating directly with other healthcare providers on your behalf, as needed.
Your Health Will Get the Attention You Deserve
With the concierge care model, health is not a matter of symptoms, tests, medications, and procedures. Instead, your concierge primary care doctor looks at you as a whole person with a medical history, health goals, genetic and lifestyle impacts, family and friends, and more.
