Concierge medicine is a rapidly growing style of practice in which a physician greatly limits the number of patients in the practice in order to provide a far greater level of service. Unlike traditional practice styles, which limit the amount of time spent with each patient to make up for rising costs, concierge physicians see far fewer patients allowing more time to fully address every concern of their patients. This style of practice is ideal for families who value personalized service, extended and unrushed appointments, and around-the-clock cell phone and texting access to their pediatrician. Concierge medicine is not for everyone, but for those parents wishing to spend more time with their child’s doctor discussing ways to prevent illness, rather than simply treat the acute problem, concierge medicine gives a much-appreciate peace of mind.
