Initial Consultations and Personalized Care Plans: Upon enrolling, your concierge doctor undertakes a comprehensive review of your medical history, which includes obtaining and analyzing medical records from previous providers, coordinating with various healthcare facilities, and conducting detailed assessments to understand your unique health needs. This initial phase involves meticulous attention to detail and substantial time commitment to ensure that every aspect of your health is thoroughly evaluated.
3. Comprehensive Medical Assessments: The initial 60-minute comprehensive consultation and physical examination are designed to establish a baseline for your ongoing care.
