When you look for Concierge Medicine, what are you looking for?
Concierge Medicine, at its best, is a doctor who cares about you, takes the time to see you as a unique human being, and gives you access to the best health care possible and the newest science.
There are a lot of Concierge docs out there now, but how many really do all of the above? I see a lot of docs who take more time with patients, and who are more accessible to patients. But I don't see a lot of doctors who really push to give their patients the best and the newest science.
If you have a Concierge doctor who is not certified in Functional Medicine, are they really pursuing the newest and best approaches for you? Or are they just doing what every other doctor does, but with longer visits?
Every day I hear from patients that they had a Concierge doctor who had longer appointments and more time for them, but still only offered them the same thing. Meds and advice. No new treatments. Maybe hormones, maybe peptides, but still they treat those like meds and never look for the underlying root causes.
The Calling of the Physician
Our science is now advancing rapidly. Every single day there is an amazing breakthrough in the science of human biology. But very few doctors, even Concierge doctors, are pushing forward to get their patients the best and newest science.
In my mind, this is the calling of the physician. A doctor should be pushing forward, every day, to get the best results for their patients.
Concierge Medicine, Combined with Functional Medicine
At ATMA Clinic we offer Concierge Medicine combined with Functional Medicine. This is the best combination: doctors who have the time to see you as a unique human being, and the training to treat you that way, with the newest science.
It's the health care that every patient deserves.
If you're interested in learning about the ATMA difference, and how we go beyond typical Concierge Medicine, give us a call. We also offer no-commitment intro visits with our providers so that you can see for yourself the future of Medicine.
Yours in Health,
