Concierge medicine, AKA: retainer, membership, private, direct pay medicine puts the patient at the center of the healthcare experience. Moreover, put them in control of how they want their healing managed. Years ago, concierge medicine was only for the rich and famous. Now, Dr. Lewis has made this type of practice model available to just about everyone. For about the cost of a large cup of coffee per day, you can have 24/7/365 personalized healthcare. What sets concierge medicine apart from the traditional/health insurance driven health system is time. Concierge doctors limit their practice to usually 400-600 patients (compared to 3000-4000 in traditional models), thus allowing the physician-patient relationship to flourish - no more 7 minute appointments. What if you had 30 min or 2 hours with your doctor? This is the time we spend with our patients. In addition, concierge doctors allow 24/7/365 accessibility via text/cell/email, same day access, most offer no-copays or visit fees (such as Dr. Lewis offers), mostly free procedures, unlimited visits, wholesale labs, discounted meds (some including Dr. Mike dispense from his office). The statistics on health are appealing too: 38% less hospitalizations in patients seeing a concierge doctor. This is medicine the way it used to be...The way it should be.
