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.
