Why Concierge Care?

Concierge care is a popular option for patients in Chicago, seeking a more individualized approach to medicine. They are looking for an alternative to the traditional practice of medicine where doctors see up to 15-20 patients per day and struggle to manage the needs of an average sized practice panel of over 2000 patients.

Patients express frustration with the current experience of waiting weeks or months to see their primary care provider, trying to get tests approved through their insurance, and feeling rushed when they finally do get to see the doctor. Doctors are also frustrated with the current way of practicing medicine, finding enough time in their day to see all their patients, meet the documentation demands for insurance reimbursement, and complete the administrative tasks.

Switching to a concierge practice is a win-win for both patients and physicians. Physicians have a reduced patient panel size which frees up time for patient access. There is more availability for same or next day appointment slots and time to discuss important aspects about your health which often get pushed back to subsequent visits. Doctors feel less stressed practicing in this type of environment. Patients find it refreshing receive individualized care and attention.
