Choosing Concierge Medicine Over Primary Care
As our world advances technologically, the healthcare industry is changing, too. If your response is, “Finally!” you’re not alone. Many Americans are tired of trying to find a doctor that they feel comfortable with — let alone getting an appointment with them — coupled with unpredictable and unexpectedly high healthcare costs.
Fortunately, with concierge medicine, there’s a new way to get the medical care you need to lead your best life. Here at Dupont Private Health in Washington, DC, Jean Ann Beaton, MD, and our team offer a concierge medicine program, so you can get the leading-edge, personalized care you deserve in a way that works better for you.
To give you a better idea of how concierge medicine works, let’s dig in.
Concierge medicine 101
With this relatively new approach to healthcare, you essentially put a doctor on retainer for yourself. By paying a specific annual fee, you unlock a broad range of services and amenities, including 24/7 connectivity to the doctor as well as same or next day appointments. Also, because your doctor doesn’t have to worry about up-charging or squeezing in more patients to make their practice work, you avoid a lot of the issues common in medical care today.
Specifically, you get the benefit of same- and next-day appointments. Dr. Beaton is able to devote more to each patient because the concierge medicine model allows her to limit how many patients she takes on, all your appointments with her are relaxed and thorough. You get the time to ask any questions you have, and in return, you get a medical expert invested in your wellness.
In fact, Dr. Beaton cares deeply about preventive care. Beyond helping you address health issues as they arise, she also partners with you to make the right changes — like adopting a plant-based diet — to support your long-term wellness. To help you build a balanced, healthy life, she applies the SENS Solution® Wellness Program:
Sleep
Exercise
Nutrition
Stress management
With these four pillars and concierge medicine, Dr. Beaton and our team can come alongside you in your health journey, building a lifestyle that helps you toward your goals.
Ultimately, Dr. Beaton and our Dupont Private Health team have chosen to offer concierge medicine because we believe it gives us a way to build better patient-physician relationships. With this model, you get the direct line to Dr. Beaton you deserve.
