What is Personalized Medicine?

You may have heard it referred to as concierge medicine, boutique medicine, retainer medicine, executive health, or VIP medicine; whatever the name, personalized medicine is a solution for doctors trying to maintain their integrity in today's difficult healthcare environment, and for patients searching for a superior healthcare alternative.

Personalized medical physicians limit their patient base to approximately six hundred patients in order to focus on disease prevention and wellness by providing patients with executive physicals, personalized service, high quality care, 24x7 availability, and other amenities. In exchange for this enhanced personal attention, patients pay physicians an annual fee. This concierge fee enables physicians to dedicate whatever time a patient needs to achieve optimal health.
