Concierge Medicine Specialist

What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a membership-based medical model. Instead of providers receiving payments through health insurance, members pay a set fee directly to the practice for medical services.

When following the traditional health insurance model, physicians need to carry a heavy caseload to cover the overhead costs of running a medical practice. That is why it takes weeks or months to get an appointment with your primary care provider, and they spend so little time with you.

Concierge medicine is a more patient-centered approach to health care. With concierge medicine, physicians carry a smaller caseload, allowing for greater flexibility with appointments and appointment time. Patients see their doctor right away, get the immediate care they need, and have time to talk about all of their health and wellness needs.

Coral Gables Cardiology Associates, in Coral Gables, Florida, is a full-service concierge internal medical practice focused on patient wellness. Our doctors serve as primary care physicians and cardiologists for our patients, acting as the coordinator of care, and working with other specialists to craft appropriate approaches to often complex medical concerns.

The physicians and staff are dedicated to patient health; a physician is always on call for medical concerns, and the staff is experienced and trained to address patient needs. We have an on-site lab for point-of-care diagnostic testing, as well as a fully equipped echocardiogram, imaging, and stress test lab.

What are the benefits of concierge medicine?

Coral Gables Cardiology Associates provides concierge medicine because of the benefits it offers to you and your physician. Because the board-certified physicians see fewer patients, they have more time to spend with you. That improves your patient-physician relationship, which improves your overall health and well-being.

With concierge medicine at Coral Gables Cardiology Associates, you have access to your physician 24-hours a day, seven days a week, and same-day care when you need it.

Additionally, the physicians at Coral Gables Cardiology Associates hold attending privileges at South Miami Hospital in Miami and Doctors Hospital in Coral Gables. That ensures you get continuity of care when in need of hospital-based services.
