"Ultimate M.D. is the leading provider in concierge medicine and has perfected the proper balance between provider and patient. Healthcare simply isn’t what it used to be with most primary care physicians seeing 20 or more patients a day with an average of 15 minutes or less devoted to each patient.

Each Ultimate M.D. physician maintains a small group of patients, no more than 600 per provider to deliver the highest level of primary care to each patient."
