"We adhere to the belief that we treat patients, not conditions. Our concierge practice provides a higher level of patient care. By limiting the number of daily appointments, we can engage in longer sessions that adapt to specific patient requirements. With longer sessions, patients feel freer to express their concerns in detail to their doctor.

The freedom and flexibility we have to align patient needs with the most effective treatment means we operate outside of conventional insurance networks and restrictions. We provide you with treatment documentation for your insurance and can also help you obtain insurance authorizations. In our experience, your insurance will cover the cost of most medications.

Our concierge practice is based on the ethos that everyone’s care needs are highly individualistic. The result of this is that we are not tethered to insurance providers and consequently do not have to adhere to their treatment protocols. Often insurers restrict the number of visits and the type of treatment provided. Our commitment stands exclusively with you as a prospective patient to help you and your family."
