The Many Benefits of Concierge Medicine
Did you know that it requires an average of 24 days for a new patient to be able to schedule an appointment with a physician in the United States? And, when you do get in the door, your appointment lasts only 15 minutes or so.
At our practice, Dr. Sean P. Nikravan wants to ensure that our patients are better served, which is possible through concierge medicine. Here, we review some of the many advantages of this next-level health care.
Appointments when you need them
As mentioned, scheduling an appointment traditionally can take weeks. When you opt for our concierge medicine services, you can get an appointment to see Dr. Nikravan within 24 hours, ensuring that you receive timely and prompt care.
Longer appointments
Many physicians are forced to carry very large patient loads and, in order to fit everyone in, appointments are often only 15 minutes. Through our concierge medicine, your appointments are as long as they need to be — and you have the doctor’s undivided attention the entire time. We believe that good health care shouldn’t be rushed.
Around-the-clock care
When you’re a member of our concierge services, you have direct access to the doctor by text, cellphone, and email, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Personalized care
Are you tired of feeling like you’re just a number when it comes to your medical care? Dr. Nikravan gets to know each of the patients in his concierge care.
This patient-centric focus allows us to better understand your lifestyle and concerns so we can provide tailored care. As well, this more personal relationship provides us with the improved ability to track your health, enabling us to spot any trends that warrant intervention.
Coordinated care
If you need to see another specialist, we oversee this process and coordinate with the specialist so we’re all working toward the same goal — your health.
Same-day refills for your medications
It can be time-consuming to get your prescription medications refilled. Through our concierge medicine, we make sure you receive same-day refills.
Comprehensive care
As part of our concierge care, we offer a wide range of services, including:
- Annual wellness exams
- Pre-operative evaluations
- Cardiovascular risk assessments
- In-office lab testing
- Electrocardiograms
- In-office thyroid ultrasounds and biopsies
- Hormone management
- Coordination of your hospital care
As you can see, we make sure that your important health care needs are met under one roof.
It’s little wonder that concierge medicine is one of the fastest growing areas in health care, increasing by more than 10% between 2019 and 2020 alone.
