FAQs

Q: What is a typical visit to your office like?

My patients will attest that I’m all about going beyond the surface. No detail is pushed aside as all our body systems are connected. Through history-taking, examination, and an unwavering commitment to evidence-based care, I want to bring all my knowledge towards the benefit of my patients. I place great importance on staying educated in the latest advances in medicine.

Each appointment is unrushed, giving you the time you need to share your concerns. It's in these moments of unhurried care that the real breakthroughs happen—accurate diagnoses and the magic of true healing.

Since I am limiting my practice to a small group of patients, patients can expect a deep knowledge of and familiarity with their needs and lifestyles, prompt solutions to their health care needs, obviating delays in treatment, and unnecessary trips to urgent care or ER.

Q: What is concierge-style medicine, and how does it work?

Concierge-style medicine is based on executive health, an over 100-year old care model pre-dating US for-profit healthcare insurance that was designed to keep important people alive and thriving for as long as possible. You deserve that style of care too, enhanced by this practice’s unique care approaches.

Q: What are the benefits of concierge-style medicine?

  • Robust ongoing communication with the physician via phone, email, or text

  • Preventive, evidence-based care to help achieve longevity and thrive

  • Personalized medicine for your specific needs and goals.

  • Travel medicine for your next adventure, available when you need it.

Q: Does concierge-style medicine still accept insurance?

Yes, I am credentialed with major insurance plans except Pacific Source and Cigna.

The concierge fee is separate from insurance and covers services like fast care connection, robust ongoing communication with your doctor, and wellness planning.

Membership or concierge fee does NOT cover acute care, labs, imaging studies, specialist care, ER and urgent care visits, hospital stays, surgeries and so on. These will be covered by your respective insurance plan.
