What is Concierge Medicine?

Concierge medicine is like having your own private doctor on call. It's a small, limited membership primary care practice that restores the physician-patient relationship with a very high level of personalized and quality care and attention...one that respects your time and your own individual health concerns. Advantages of membership also include:

  • Individualized attention from the doctor. Concierge physicians typically have one-tenth of the total patients than the average physician, significantly lowering the patient load and increasing the doctor's time with you, the patient. The patient and the doctor work together to determine the time needed to get an accurate diagnosis and a true sense of the causes.
  • Scheduling flexibility. Private Health MD members, in most cases, can be seen on the same day. This can help prevent a minor issue from becoming more serious. Or allow a serious issue to be diagnosed sooner. We'll place you in a comfortable exam room within minutes of your arrival so you’re not greeted with a long wait for the doctor. Our flexibility in scheduling creates an environment for better health.
  • Our staff will coordinate all of the details of your hospital care. From the moment you arrive at the facility the doctor will personally manage your care — a real comfort. Additionally, should you need Emergency Room care, the doctor, as able and if requested, will meet you there. Our practice’s prime location, mere steps from Winter Park Memorial Hospital, increases our accessibility.

Managing your health care or the health care of a loved one can be stressful and confusing. Misinformation and mediocre care are all too common. The doctor and staff at Private Health MD are determined to change the way you experience health care. Look forward to a new sense of confidence in your doctor and a feeling of relief in your insurance filings. We assure you’ll find genuine, quality health care delivered with time, attention and accuracy.
