We provide personalized health and wellness services to our patients by capping our physicians to a panel of 100 patients. Doing so, we allow our physicians to really know their patients. With this concierge/ private practice hybrid model, physicians are able to provide extra personal care such as direct phone consultations, adequate appointment times, home visits, and many other benefits that are usually not cover by insurance or available in a HMO setting.
Please feel free to contact the office at (310) 325-8588 with any questions or to reserve your spot as space is extremely limited. We look forward to hearing from you soon and to many more years of continued good health.
Concierge/ private primary practice is a relationship between a patient and physician in which the patient pays an annual fee or retainer. In exchange, the doctor provides enhanced care, with a commitment to limit patient loads; thereby, ensures adequate time and availability for each patient. The concierge doctor can be available virtually any time to his/her patients without feeling overwhelmed, because there are far fewer patient in a concierge practice.
By serving only the members, we are able provide personalized medical, wellness, and immediate urgent care via phone, home visits, or office visits.
Practicing medicine and enrich medical knowledge are my passions. I devote myself to develop meaningful relationships with my patients. By allowing time to listen and getting to know my patients, their environments, and their family dynamics, I can provide a highly individualized tailor to meet my patients' special needs.
Unfortunately, over the last several years, with the increase cost to run a private medical practice and the constraints imposed by commercial insurance and Medicare have made these principles difficult and sometimes impossible to achieve. To survive, many physicians have become employees of corporations where every step of care is based on protocols with minimizing cost in mind. These primary care physician sees an average of 20 to 40 patients each day, and may oversees as many as 4,000 patients in all (Perm J. 2011 Winter; 15(1): 53-56, PMCID: PMC3048635). In other words, doctors are allocated an average of 7 to 15 minutes per patient. This level of medical care inherently suffers because quantity supersedes quality. The quality of medical care suffers in a system where the definition of success is “being busy.”
Therefore, concierge/ private model allows me to ensure best care for my patients.
