Concierge Internal Medicine
Dr. James offers concierge medical services which aims to deliver exceptional healthcare experiences and improved health outcomes for her patients. Concierge medicine focuses on building strong doctor-patient relationships, emphasizing preventive care, and tailoring treatment plans to individual needs with the goal of spending more quality time with the patient. In this model, patients pay an annual fee to access services that go beyond the traditional healthcare and office setting.
It includes 24/7 availability to Dr. James for urgent concerns, and direct communication with her via phone, text, email, or virtual consultations. By prioritizing accessibility, precision medicine, continuity of care, and a patient-centered approach, Dr. James’ concierge medical services surpass that which is available in a standard outpatient setting. You may choose to use your insurance for labs, imaging, emergency room visits or specialty care. Each visit or communication will incur no additional charges, nor will your insurance be billed.
