Frequently Asked Questions

What is Concierge Medicine?

Concierge Medicine is a care delivery model that charges a membership fee so that a physician
has more time to provide enhanced services to a smaller panel of patients.

What are the general ages of your patients and who best benefits from Concierge Medicine?

I see patients 18 and older, ranging from college students to nonagenarians, I see young and
mid-career working adults who want to receive care in a timely fashion. I see patients who have
more complex healthcare needs. Mostly, I see patients who want to have someone they trust
to serve as a healthcare advisor and advocate and that they can rely on to provide outstanding,
evidence-based care in an unhurried fashion.

Do you provide Preventive Care?

Yes. In addition to providing acute care and continuity of care for chronic conditions, I address
preventive care. At even routine visits, I check to make sure that a patient’s immunizations and
preventive care are up to date. Additionally, I provide annual, comprehensive physical exams
that address preventive services and immunizations.

What does the Membership Fee cover?

The membership fee covers longer visit times and more readily available same-day or next-day
appointments. It allows for minimal time sitting in a waiting room. It also covers enhanced
coordination of care with sub-specialists. Additionally, patients will have direct access to me
via cell phone for urgent issues that come up after hours.

Do you provide care to children?

I take care of young adults ages 18 years and older. Pediatric care is not within an Internal
Medicine doctor’s scope of practice.

To which specialists and hospitals do you refer and with which hospitals do you have relationships?

I work closely with physicians in the Piedmont Hospital system and have Courtesy privileges at
Northside. I refer to specialists across multiple hospital systems including Piedmont, Northside,
Emory and Wellstar. The most important factors guiding my referrals are excellence of care and
convenience for patients.

Do you offer telemedicine visits?

Yes. I am able to provide visits via video and audio calls.
