C Andrew Schroeder, MD, FCCP Concierge and Pulmonary Medicine

"Concierge care offers value to patients who want traditional medical care and beyond.  The most important characteristics of a good doctor are time and access, advocacy for patients, training, reputation, and board certification.

At its most basic concierge medicine allows Dr. Schroeder to care for you the way he was taught in medical school.  He will be available to review test results, answer questions, and spend time on what is important.  Unfortunately corporate interference has come between patients and their doctors in too many instances.  Doctors are forced to provide the ethical minimum of service, and mediocrity is the new norm. 

Concierge care reestablishes a strong doctor patient relationship by forging a direct relationship.  Corporate and bureaucratic influence are minimized if not eliminated.  The concierge fee covers the important services that third party payers do not support.

Concierge care is for people who want to invest in their most important asset, their health."
