Benefits of Concierge Medicine
Direct Access to Your Provider
Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Friday from 8 a.m. to noon for routine appointments. Accommodation for same-day appointments for any urgent needs will be met to the best of our ability.
Any appointments can be scheduled by contacting the office or sending a message through MyChart and our staff will address it promptly.
An on-call physician is also available after hours for telephone consultations. Because we are a FirstHealth clinic, our physicians collaborate with the inpatient hospitalist team to help coordinate your care in times of hospitalization.
Longer, More Personalized Visits
In traditional primary care settings, appointments are often 15 minutes or less. At FirstHealth Concierge, you will complete an extensive health questionnaire before your first appointment that delves into your medical history, including any medications you take as well as social history and social determinants.
Your provider reviews your information, so your first appointment is a detailed discussion on your health care concerns and needs. Together, you develop a map for your future health care plan.
Preventive Care and Long-Term Health Planning
Our providers focus on the underlying causes of health problems rather than the symptoms, allowing them to develop a multifaceted, customized plan that yields better outcomes over the long term. The concierge model also fosters an improved patient-provider relationship for a more trusting, intimate partnership between the provider and patient.
