As an innovative developer of the concierge medicine business model, Specialdocs understands the challenges facing today’s independent and employed physicians.

The concierge model allows physicians to spend more time with each patient, building a meaningful connection that benefits the patient and fulfills the physician.

This relationship allows physicians to focus on preventative care and health literacy, both of which have been proven to improve overall health outcomes, reduce hospital and ER utilization and curb unnecessary testing and procedures.

Since 2002, Specialdocs Consultants has empowered physicians to transition their practices to the concierge medicine model and make a real impact on the health of their communities.

Among the many concierge medicine benefits available through Specialdocs’ services, you could spend less time on paperwork, experience fewer administrative responsibilities and gain greater financial independence.

Additionally, patients could enjoy more specialized attention that is focused on delivering the best level of care. Because concierge practitioners are not beholden to the same restrictions imposed by insurance providers, these physicians are free to explore multiple treatment options and can work more closely with patients to ensure a smooth and comprehensive healing process.

57% of family medicine physicians (+10% over the last 5 years) and 60% of internists (+14% over the last 5 years) are suffering from burnout,* and 83% of physicians report being over-extended or at capacity.**

It’s no wonder the number of independent physicians is declining

Some are being bought by large hospital groups, some are going out of business and more medical school students are opting for subspecialties rather than primary care. The most recent data compiled by consulting companies Accenture and Avalere, show that the number of independent physicians declined to 26% in 2022, down from 37% in 2013.*

Since 2002, Specialdocs has listened to physicians across the country tell their story of being squeezed by the state of medicine. Here’s what they’re saying:
