Why concierge care?
Relationships are as important to your health as treatment.
My father is an old-fashioned GP in Mississippi. As I child, I often followed him on house calls to patients. Even at a young age, it was obvious to me that the relationships he built with his patients was every bit as important to their care as the treatment he prescribed. This early experience inspired me deeply and is central to why I am a practicing physician today.
As a doctor, I feel compelled to help people become their healthiest selves. I believe the best way to do this is to get to know each of my patients wholly and deeply, and to provide the time and access for them to be clearly heard and thoroughly understood in life’s everyday and important moments.
I have chosen to slow down.
With my concierge practice, I have chosen to slow down from the frantic pace set by the modern healthcare system. I have chosen to build deeper relationships, to get to know each patient as the whole patient. I have seized an opportunity to return to a time when patients and doctors were in greater control, much the way medicine was practiced 40 years ago.
I value connecting deeply about life’s important moments.
With time and space to discuss life’s important moments, we can expand beyond the immediacy of symptoms, diagnoses, and treatments to big-picture health. Urgent care and hospitalization leave patients at their most vulnerable, and I meet and treat patients not only during routine visits but also under duress.
Patients deserve patience.
My practice offers all the advantages of modern medicine within a model that hearkens back to the accessibility of another time, when doctors made house calls and patients could contact us when concern peaked. By creating a practice based on greater access to me, I can care thoughtfully for each patient—and make a lasting difference in his or her life.
The Fruits of Wellness
Modern medicine is remarkable and, of course, plays a crucial role in helping us get—and stay—healthy. It’s important to remember, though, that health is not merely a lack of disease. It is a comprehensive approach to living intentionally, a commitment to applying what I call the “Fruits of Wellness” to everyday living. When we incorporate Love, Joy, Compassion, Humility, Patience, Forgiveness, Faithfulness, and Self-Control into all areas of our lives, we become more fit, healthy, and impactful. My relationship with patients, my commitment to practice, and my approach to my own life are all rooted in these “Fruits of Wellness.”
