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 model and make an real impact on the health of their communities.
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 by consulting company Accenture show that the number of independent physicians declined to 33% in 2016, down from 57% in 2000.*
