The annual fee to participate
provides a Comprehensive Preventive Medical Examination
and a Personal Wellness Plan, which serve as
the foundation of your personalized health care
program. In addition, there are a number of amenities
that come with being a patient in a smaller medical
practice.
*Comprehensive Preventive Medical Examination
The Comprehensive Preventive Medical Examination
is the starting point for your personalized
health care program. A thorough evaluation
of your current health status will be conducted.
Tests and evaluations will be customized to
meet your specific needs based on your gender,
age, health history, genetics, and lifestyle
factors. We’ll take the time to discuss
all of the results together.
*Personal Wellness Plan
Once we have established a baseline for your
current level of health, the next step is to
create a customized action plan. We will set
short and long-term goals, considering nutrition,
exercise, stress management, and other lifestyle
factors. Your Personal Wellness Plan will be
designed to accomplish the goal of reducing
your risks and increasing your chances of optimizing
and maintaining good health.
*Same-day or Next-day Appointments
Appointments will be made to fit your schedule,
the same day or the next if needed. You will
be seen promptly with little or no waiting
time.
*Longer, Unhurried Appointments
The typical Internist must see as many as 25
patients each day. In my new practice I can
schedule much longer appointments than was
previously possible. Because you are one of
a small number of patients, I can take the
time we need to address your health issues.
*24-Hour Accessibility – By Telephone,
Fax, or Email
You will have direct access to me for any medical
issue, large or small. If you need to be seen,
I will attend to you myself on short notice.
When you contact me by phone, fax, or email,
you will reach me directly or I will respond
quickly. While there are instances when I will
be away or unavailable, my practice will always
be covered in the same responsive manner by a
dedicated Internal Medicine colleague.
*House Calls When Needed
I will make house calls when medically appropriate
and necessary.
*Scheduled Telephone Visits
To make the most efficient use of your time,
I will gladly schedule telephone consultations
when appropriate. Of course, it is not always
possible to give you the best advice in this
manner so it may be best for you to be seen
in the office.
*Enhanced Coordination of Your Care
If you need specialty care, I will work closely
with other providers. I will make careful recommendations
and facilitate communication and follow up.
I will oversee your care, should you require
hospitalization, to maximize your benefit and
outcome.
*Travel Medicine Services
Many travel illnesses can be prevented. I receive
timely updates of travel information from a
variety of online sources. So before you take
a trip abroad, talk with me. I’ll help
you prepare by providing guidance on appropriate
immunizations and information to help you stay
in good health wherever you go.
*Prescription Facilitation
My staff and I will facilitate your prescription
needs by ensuring the correct information is
provided in a timely manner to your preferred
pharmacy.
