"The American Academy of Private Physicians has established the following definitions to better explain the goals, scope and philosophy of Concierge Medicine.

Investment in membership-based programs, like concierge medicine, in order to have a stronger relationship with your physician is becoming a more and more popular choice. Some choose private physicians to avoid waiting for treatment or because their work or family schedules make phoning and emailing their doctor more convenient. Many people also want a more technology-focused wellness and prevention plan, which is commonly found in concierge medicine practices.

The longer patient appointments, extensive access to your physician, after-hours consultations as well as unlimited check-ups and office visits make this an attractive offer for many who are seeking extra attention from their primary care provider."
