Concierge medicine 101

Concierge medicine is a form of personalized care in which you’re more than just a number. Dr. Felzer takes time to get to know you, offering longer appointment times when necessary and taking on a smaller patient caseload. He treats patients like family.

Concierge care offers a boutique-style experience in which we prioritize quality over quantity. You simply pay a monthly membership fee for unlimited, superior primary care services.

Reasons concierge medicine is best for preventive care

Here are some of the many reasons concierge medicine is top-notch for preventive care:

Personalized doctor-patient relationships

For preventive care to work as designed, your provider needs to get to know you well, remember you, and follow up with you regularly. 

Because Premium Healthcare is a concierge-style practice, Dr. Felzer sees fewer patients. He knows each one on a personal level and how to best care for them using compassionate, comprehensive primary care. 

No waiting to schedule appointments

A smaller concierge-style practice means you don’t have to wait a long time to see Dr. Felzer. He offers same-day and next-day appointments when needed to meet all your urgent medical needs. He follows up as often as needed to ensure exceptional health outcomes. 

Getting an appointment right when you need it often means fewer skipped doctor’s visits. 

Early detection with remote patient monitoring

Dr. Felzer can monitor many of your health indicators using remote patient monitoring, a convenient way to assist in disease detection and prevention from the comfort of your home.

You can use home-based devices to track your heart rate, blood pressure, blood sugar, oxygen levels, weight, and more. Dr. Felzer analyzes these values to guide preventive care virtually or during in-person appointments. 

Longer appointments offer a wealth of knowledge

At Premium Healthcare, our concierge medicine model allows time for longer appointments. That means you can take as much time as you need to fully understand any health-related concerns, how to best prevent chronic diseases, or ways to better manage diseases you’ve previously been diagnosed with. 

Convenient, consistent access to your provider

Concierge medicine at Primary Healthcare offers consistent access to Dr. Felzer anytime you have concerns or questions about your health. This provides the wealth of knowledge needed to maximize your overall health and well-being. 

Research suggests that concierge medicine helps increase patient satisfaction, active patient participation, early disease detection, and disease prevention. 

Staying in contact with Dr. Felzer routinely means you can discuss new or unusual symptoms right away, leading to earlier disease detection and a lower risk of complications. 

Conditions concierge-style care helps prevent

It also reduces your risk of nutritional deficiencies, bone loss, and complications linked to mental health conditions like depression and anxiety.
