In a concierge medicine practice your physician makes a commitment to limit the number of patients they see to ensure adequate time and availability for each patient, and to provide an enhanced level of care. The primary goal of Prima Medicine Concierge Care is to work with patients to accomplish their health and wellness goals.
“Time spent with a physician in an open discussion is critical to improve health outcomes. By adopting the concierge model for my practice, I hope to remove time limitations and offer personalized, compassionate healthcare to my patients. The emphasis in traditional medicine is on treatment of disease. I want to be able to help patients before they get sick by using preventive care and lifestyle medicine. To be able to change the health trajectory of my patients for better is a goal of mine.” – Dr. Rao
