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

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
