Premium Care Internal Medicine Q & A
What is concierge medicine?
Concierge medicine is a way of practicing medicine that assures truly individualized medical care and the personal attention of a trusted physician. When you join a concierge practice, you pay a set fee to become a member. In return, you’re guaranteed a level of service and access to physicians that far exceed the standard level of care in most medical offices.
The team at Premium Care Internal Medicine chooses to limit the size of their practice so they can spend more time with each person, provide quick health care, and stay accessible any time you need help.

What is a personal wellness plan?
The heart of concierge care is preventing future health problems, while properly managing your existing health conditions. The team at Premium Care Internal Medicine meets these goals by working with you to create and implement a personal wellness plan.
The doctors establish a baseline for your current health during your comprehensive preventive examination. Then they set short- and long-term goals to promote long-term optimal health.
Your plan may include a nutritional evaluation and recommendations, exercise options, stress management techniques, and other lifestyle factors relevant to maintaining optimal health. Once the plan is finalized, your doctor is always available to help if you have questions, face unexpected challenges, or need help sticking with your wellness plan.
What other benefits are available with concierge medicine?
When you have a concierge physician, you have a healthcare partner who helps coordinate all your medical needs. They manage your medications and serve as an advocate as you navigate the complex healthcare system.
Your doctor at Premium Care Internal Medicine oversees your care in the event you require hospitalization. In short, you receive the comprehensive medical services of an internist from a physician who’s available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
