A DIFFERENT KIND OF CARE

We have a little secret we want to share with you, when it comes to your health, traditional health insurance payment options within the classic model of primary care, pay for procedures instead of results. In fact, in many ways, we are penalized financially for spending more time with patients, which is what is necessary to provide thoughtful, whole-person, preventative care. As traditional primary care doctors, we weren’t satisfied with that model of care, and that’s the number one reason we chose to switch to the concierge medicine model of care instead.

Caring for every ASPECT of your health

As your primary care doctor, we need time to explain your treatment regimen or perhaps even to explain when no treatment is necessary. When we have the time to really be with you, we can take everything into account based on the way you are communicating.

Access.... what does that even mean? Well, in the case of an emergency (serious illness, hospitalization, etc), you can call or text us at any time! However, it doesn't just stop there, as it involves strategic coordination as well; such as making sure that you're referred to the best specialists in the field and maintaining communication with them. Hospitalized? We'll be in touch with the treating physician, making sure that you're receiving the proper medications, testing, and treatments.

We love our staff and you will, too! We take pride in having a small office staff that is knowledgeable, friendly, caring, in sync with the physicians, and always willing to go the extra mile for our patients. There is no central scheduling, or waiting multiple days to hear back from someone. We take care of you the same way we would our family!

Your health is all about YOU and what makes you, you! Your family history, your genetic foundation, the lifestyle you live, etc. No two people are the same and that's what makes us so passionate about what we do. We want to make sure your health is evaluated extremely comprehensively so that we can learn everything about you, which in turn, helps us learn what preventative measures to take and how to better treat you so that you're always in the best health of your life.

Have you ever called your doctors office when you weren't feeling well and couldn't get in anytime soon? Maybe you were even instructed to go to a walk-in clinic or the emergency room? That's not the way we believe healthcare should be. If you need immediate medical attention that's within our abilities, we'll make sure it's addressed that day. Running out of a prescription that you forgot doesn't have any refills? You can rest easy in knowing that we'll have it taken care of for you as quickly as possible.

Did you know that 89% of physicians spend less than 20 minutes with their patients and that 56% of that is at less than 15 minutes? As you can imagine, you really can't get to the root of any problem in such a minimal time frame. That's why we prefer having a lower patient volume, to increase the time we get to spend with our patients so that we can really get a thorough understanding of what's going on with the patient and discuss the available options and treatments.

In today's world, time is everything. We know you personally don't have a lot of it and that nobody wants to live their life going back and forth to a doctors office trying to get to the bottom of a symptom, or wait anxiously until their next appointment to get the results of a test. At Premier MD Care, we make sure to make the time that we do spend with you count and would never leave you waiting for the answers you deserve.

Continuity of care means that you have a long term established relationship with your doctor. Your PCP knows you and your health goals and helps you manage your health, whether through preventative maintenance or continued management of any conditions you may have. By tracking your health over time, your doctor gains valuable information and can make better treatment decisions in a shorter amount of time than if you simply went to an urgent care with a health problem.

Because your primary care doctor truly knows you, they can go beyond simple routine screenings. They can ask the right questions and know your body well enough to be able to find symptoms of health issues before they become larger problems. By being aware of your overall health, your doctor can identify any changes in your body, recommend lifestyle changes, immunizations you may need and any testing to help you lower your risk of developing disease. Going to the doctor should be more than just a visit when you are feeling sick. By going for regular physicals, you hold onto your good health longer.
