Concierge Features

The annual Medicare quality report (QRUR) is an objective assessment of the quality and cost issues related to medical practices.  Our practice has shown impressive results on the latest data that was published.  It reveals that our practice has lower hospitalization rates then the national average for major diseases, including pneumonia, diabetes, COPD, and heart failure.  There was also reduced rates of readmission to the hospital, and improved rates of pneumonia vaccination in our patients.  Also, it was shown that our patients had an average lower cost of care compared to the national average in management of diabetes, coronary disease, heart failure, and COPD.  Therefore, our concierge practice is proven to have higher quality and lower cost than the national average!

As your personal physician, I will not have the same time restraints that are typical in the traditional model of practice. This provides us more time to address your concerns, and initiate a preventive wellness plan to keep you healthy. You will have around-the-clock access to me, and you will benefit from convenient appointment scheduling addressed to your needs. I will also communicate directly with the specialty physicians involved in your care, thereby ensuring good understanding of various medical complexities.
