10 Essential Questions...Concierge Care Due Diligence

If you are considering a concierge physician you clearly value your health, your time, and you demand the best. There are many doctors out there who claim to have concierge practices, typically they will have a handful of cash paying patients who pay a “fee for access.” In addition to your fee, these physicians are billing your insurance company for further reimbursement, charging co-pays, as well as servicing several thousand other patients at the same time. For some people this is an acceptable arrangement, however, at Consolaré we believe that when it comes to irreplaceable commodities such as your health and your time our unique model is far superior to those offered by physicians trying to start up a “side-business.”

Our dedication to you and your health is what sets us apart from any other Healthcare provider you will ever experience. That is the Consolaré difference.
