Podcasts about Concierge medicine

Most private practice doctors are just copying the traditional healthcare model—but why? The mainstream system is broken, inefficient, and frustrating for both doctors and patients. If you're launching your cash-based or virtual medical practice, you don't have to do things the old way. In this episode, I challenge you to rethink every part of your practice, including: How patients actually find you (hint: it's not through your website) Scheduling & payments (you don't need a front desk or an EHR) Intake forms (do patients really want them?) Lab & imaging results (how to present them in a way patients actually understand) The future of medical records (voice notes, AI, and custom software) The best practices in medicine aren't just the ones we've always used—they're the ones that actually work.

Priyanka founded HealthClic in 2015, with a desire to create a concierge medical practice that offers families unparalleled access to a distinguished HealthClic physician. An expert who dedicates their full expertise to the well-being of you and your family. Someone who knows you so well that they anticipate your medical needs, advocate for you, and proactively research solutions before complications arise – almost like having a doctor in the family.   COMPANY OVERVIEW As London's first concierge medicine practice, with a patient list 98% smaller than the average GP practice in London, HealthClic physicians are renowned for providing highly discreet medical services to ultra high-net-worth families and an international clientele. There is a waitlist to join.   Concierge medicine, often known as ‘membership medicine', dates back to 1996 and is an advanced healthcare model from the U.S. where patients pay an annual membership fee to register with their primary care physician; in exchange for a higher level of service, and a smaller patient list. This is a much more exclusive model of healthcare delivery, that involves 24/7 physician access, same-day appointments, and highly personalised, comprehensive care.    HealthClic is meticulously crafted to serve the unique needs of families accustomed to frequent travel and multiple residences; with a highly exclusive patient-to-doctor ratio of 50 families to 1. As a practice, HealthClic excels in prioritising privacy, promptness, and excellence in care, catering not only to those in perfect health but also to those proactively managing their well-being, or those families undergoing a health crisis. Their dedicated physicians ensure longevity and safeguard your legacy with the utmost discretion and precision, making HealthClic the epitome of comprehensive concierge medicine.    LEARN MORE: https://healthclic.co.uk   © 2007-2025 Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

A physician recently shared a post about how medicine is a minefield—you can do everything right and still get sued, blamed, or burned out. The system makes it easier to destroy doctors than to support them, and many are leaving for good. But instead of waiting for change, what if you made a shift? Some medical settings are more supportive than others Switching specialties or clinical settings can make a huge difference There are many non-clinical career options Cash-based care (concierge, DPC, or fee-for-service) provides more freedom I also share my personal experience: How I handled a medical board investigation My perspective on lawsuits and the reality of getting sued Why cash-based medicine is a viable way to stay in medicine on your terms Listen in for real talk on the challenges of being a doctor today—and how to find a better path.

Most of the healthcare system is designed for patients who just need a quick fix—someone with a license to prescribe so they can move on with their day.

In this episode, Dr. Mohammad Ashori breaks down the two types of patients you'll encounter in medicine, why the healthcare system is designed for the 80% who just want a quick prescription, and how you can build a private practice that attracts the 20% of patients who truly value good healthcare.

My wife often jokes that I read 4-5 books simultaneously. It's true! If you own a digital book reader or use an audiobook app like Audible to consume books, then you've probably jumped between a title or two as well, depending on your mood.   By Editor, Concierge Medicine Today   I personally love bouncing between a few titles and topics. I think the secret is listening or reading one chapter at a time once or twice a week! Then, I jump onto a podcast path, perhaps with a similar author I find interesting in the car or during a workout.   But finding the right balance between learning and pleasure is important, especially FOR Doctors!   Reading a few books simultaneously helps me avoid getting stuck or bored. If a book or a chapter is too slow, allow yourself to skip a track or jump a few pages.

You and I can't always choose how or when to leave a job. And sometimes life isn't fair. The point is that today, considering the legacy you're about to leave behind [at your current workplace], you honor the people you've worked beside and the patients you've served.   A message from the Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today   A Sept. 3, 2024, MGMA Stat poll found that 27% of medical groups report having a physician leave or retire early in 2024 due to burnout, compared to 68% that did not and 5% reporting “unsure.” Even more interesting is that a larger percentage of physicians in another survey expressed a likelihood of leaving their current position within the next few years, with some studies showing up to 35% considering a departure.   Whether you're contemplating a leap into the world of concierge medicine or just daydreaming about your dream job, here are three simple questions you should consider if and when you decide to make a big move in your career!   But before we spotlight those questions, we should pause for just a minute and talk about the legacy you're leaving behind—the people and patients you've served along the way. Physicians leave organizations every day and continue to do amazing things. And when you end a job or a position at a hospital or practice where you've worked well, that's part of your legacy, too. Legacy isn't just about the end of your career or estate planning.   You and I can't always choose how or when to leave your job. And sometimes life isn't fair. The point is that today, considering the legacy you're about to leave behind, honor the people you've worked beside and the patients you've served. Legacy, as we're discussing it today, isn't something you should ignore because you got your feelings hurt or emotions are getting the best of you. Ignoring your legacy has the potential to undermine the life that you've lived and the gifts that you've given to the patients you've served, the colleagues you've worked next to all these years, and the opportunities you've given other people. So yeah, this a big deal. So asking these questions and really thinking about your legacy and who and what you're leaving behind is an important conversation with the people around you right now.   Who can you turn to for guidance? We all recognize the value of sound advice intellectually but it's crucial to seek counsel from individuals within your network who won't simply tell you what you want to hear but rather will support and guide you in making critical decisions and help you identify your blind spots. Think about creating a list of these people and reach out to them. Consider taking them out for lunch and telling them beforehand what you'd like to discuss. This will shorten the pleasantries and help shortcut the discussion around your primary concerns about a job transition.   How much time will it take to heal the emotional and psychological wounds of the past workplace experience?  Emotions often play a pivotal role in our decision-making. However, what will happen in six months when you discover that the new job has its own set of dysfunctional workplace issues? Allow yourself time to heal from the weight of the last workplace experience. There's nothing worse than finding yourself a decade from now (or perhaps retired) and still traumatized by the same set of emotional wounds you never allowed to properly treat years ago.   Will you take a leap or build a runway? Financial concerns are not always the primary factor when it comes to changing careers or jobs. Often, it's about better hours, a supportive boss, or more family time. Many physicians contemplating career transitions tend to overlook the “what if” questions: What if this doesn't work out? What if I don't enjoy the area? The list can be endless. When seeking career advice from trusted individuals, be cautious of platitudes. These can create a misleading sense of confidence. For instance, when you share your story, some may advise you to “Just take a leap of faith.” But where is your parachute? What does your financial runway look like if it doesn't pan out? Others might suggest, “If you build it, they will come.” While these statements may hold some truth, they often lack a foundation in reality. If your next career move doesn't succeed, what will you stand to lose? What are your exit strategies? How long is the contract? Who will be your actual boss?   At the end of day, you and I, the colleagues you know, your friends and associates, we all have something in common. That is the unfortunate reality that we will not be remembered necessarily for our finest hours, but our final hours. That's very sobering for all of us and the reason why we're so passionate and repetitive about our mission – and that is to be FOR Doctors. Because at the end of the day it's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your patients and FOR your local community.   Bonus: Here are the five books we encourage any Physician to read if you're in a season of career transition.   “What To Do Next: Taking Your Best Step When Life Is Uncertain” by Jeff Henderson (Author) “Necessary Endings” by Henry Cloud “The Doctor's Guide to Concierge Medicine” by Concierge Medicine Today (Author) “Today Matters: 12 Daily Practices to Guarantee Tomorrow's Success” by John C.

Choosing the right health care provider is essential for aligning with your personal health goals, especially as new information emerges about the healthcare system. It's important to find a provider who understands your preferences, whether that involves a delayed vaccine schedule or exploring advanced testing options like DNA analysis and hormone evaluations. Traditional medical models often prioritize pharmaceuticals and high-volume care, but concierge medicine offers more personalized services tailored to your unique health needs.Setting clear health goals, such as weight loss, disease management, or overall wellness, can help guide your healthcare journey. Providers who specialize in advanced treatments, like peptide therapy and hormone balancing, offer more holistic approaches to conditions that are often just managed in traditional settings. Understanding the role of insulin resistance, gut health, and diet in your long-term well-being is crucial for preventing chronic diseases and achieving lasting health improvements.Highlights of the Podcast00:04 - Introduction01:06 - Choosing the Right Provider02:30 - Concierge Medicine vs Traditional Care03:49 - Setting Health Goals06:02 - Peptides & Metabolic Health07:27 - The Importance of Finding the Right Provider09:44 - Artificial Sweeteners & Health Implications11:09 - Insulin Resistance & Brain Health12:26 - Cholesterol Myths

“I'm going to say something that people claim isn't true, but it is. I'm an ear nose and throat doctor. I don't remember your eardrum from last year. I don't care what people tell you, doctors don't remember 3,000 eardrums.” - Danish Nagda Danish Nagda, founder of Rezilient, has come up with a pretty unique solution to doctor burnout in primary care: a hybrid model, where patients go in-person to checkups, an attendant takes all of their vital signs, and the data is uploaded directly to a doctor.  As an ear, nose, and throat doctor himself, Danish understands the importance of the human touch in healthcare, but also sees the future of primary care as data-based: for instance, if a doctor has your exact EKG readings from a year ago, they have a baseline to measure your current data off of.  Rezilient haș also focused on making all of this appealing to employers, and he shares why this model has positive ROI within the first year for most.  Join us this week as we explore the future of primary care!  Chapters: 00:00:00 Meet Danish Nagda 00:01:02 The Future Of GLP-1s 00:06:19 Comprehensive Healthcare Access 00:09:58 Physician Burnout 00:14:04 Healthcare Should Focus On Data 00:17:54 Tech-Focused Primary Care 00:26:24 The Importance Of The Primary Care Doctor 00:47:05 The ROI Of Rezilient For Employers 00:51:09 Empowering Patients Through Accessible Healthcare Data 01:01:42 The Future Of Rezilient Key Links for Social: @SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFunded Listen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02 Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286 Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/ Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/ Key Words:  Obesity Drugs, GLP1s, GLPs, Physician Mental Health, Rezilient, Concierge Medicine, Tech Enabled Care, Healthcare Transparency, Healthcare AI, Healthcare Innovation, Virtual Care Model, virtual care, podcast, primary care, doctor, health, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding #ObesityDrugs #GLP1s #GLPs #PhysicianMentalHealth #Rezilient #ConciergeMedicine #TechEnabledCare #HealthcareTransparency #HealthcareAI #HealthcareInnovation #VirtualCareModel #virtualcare #podcast #primarycare #doctor #health #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spencer-harlan-smith/support

You assume all associated risks. We strongly encourage you to perform your own due diligence and work with a trusted advisor or professional or a competent attorney who understands your unique practice needs.    Today, we're discussing why it's crucial to routinely revisit your Communication Policy with a trusted professional or a competent attorney with knowledge of this space. But first, let me say this to the Physician who needs to hear it: A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy is a form of self-care. Not only is it for the Physicians' mental and emotional health, but it's also for the Patients' benefit. A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy helps maintain a healthy work-life balance, gives structure to your responses, and is critical to a successful marriage! In concierge medicine, a good communication policy and a secure messaging platform should free Physicians up to do what they do best. These two things working together should give you, your Practice and your Patients the freedom to respond to messages at their convenience, address questions promptly, and automatically document interactions in the patient's EMR. Don't look at them as a way to restrict communication. That's what the rest of healthcare attempts to do. You're different, and that's okay.   A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy is a set of personal rules that become a matter of professional conscience. Remember, "... it's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world anymore, it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your Patients, and FOR your local community." A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy can help you avoid regrets that might otherwise occur. A well-written, often updated, and routinely revised Communication Policy is a choice you make for yourself and will impact you and those closest to you.   READ FULL ARTICLE ...   (C) 2024 Concierge Medicine Today LLC  

Today on the show, we welcome Chloe Harrouche. Chloe is the founder of The Lanby, a concierge primary care practice in NYC. Her goal is to reimagine what it's like to go to the doctor from every touchpoint. At age 23 Chloe was diagnosed with breast cancer and experienced our broken healthcare system. Through her experience, she found no one to coordinate care across specialists, no hospitality, and no emphasis on wellness and nutrition which gave her the drive and mission to create The Lanby, a full replacement for your primary care needs and beyond.  Today we discuss Chloe's own journey with breast cancer, fertility challenges and ultimately creating a comprehensive solution for primary care coordination that can meet the unique needs of each patient.

Compared to a generation ago, information and strategies to maximize health and longevity are widely available. Is your primary care physician working those strategies with you?Most primary care practices are driven by accountants and insurance companies for efficiency. But determining the unique needs of each patient really requires more time. Prevention of illness may require tools that are not covered by insurance.The concierge model of primary care aims to build a partnership between the patient and the physician. Dr. Theresa Burick of the Burick Center for Health and Wellness explains how her concierge practice identifies priorities for patients and uses a wider range of tools to achieve greater health and wellness. The health care industry has changed over time. Concierge medicine is growing to get people out of the Sick Care System and into the Health Care System.

This episode of the Female Athlete Nutrition podcast is with family medicine physician Dr. Jana Baatenburg MD. She is a CrossFit Level 1 Trainer and Owner of Concierge Medicine of West Michigan, opening in September 2024! Dr. Jana shares her path to becoming a doctor and how athletics factored in. Dr. Jana opens up about her struggles with RED-S and underfueling, including 12 years of amenorrhea -a missing period- and bone injuries. She talks about how finding CrossFit and a community of athletes who believe that stronger is better for performance kickstarted her RED-S recovery. Dr. Jana highlights how gaining weight led to big performance improvements, as well as finally regaining her period after 12 years! We discuss some of the body image and weight gain challenges she faced, and how ultimately her desire to stay injury free and enjoying the sports she loved motivated her recovery.  Dr. Jana is just one of many doctors and healthcare professionals I meet who have struggled with nutrition, and if that is you too, do not be ashamed. Even dietitians with extensive nutrition education can struggle with eating disorders, disordered eating and RED-S. We go on to discuss Dr. Jana's work as a family medicine physician and how concierge medicine is bringing better healthcare to patients.  TOPIC TIMESTAMPS: 4:00 Dr. Jana's path to becoming a family medicine doctor  7:00 Dr. Jana's athletic background in running and CrossFit  10:00 Dr. Jana's RED-S experience: amenorrhea, weight control 14:45 How CrossFit helped Dr. Jana's RED-S recovery 17:35 Gaining muscle (and weight) to improve performance  20:10 RED-S consequences: 12 years of amenorrhea, injuries and poor bone health  23:20 Period/ hormonal recovery  24:20 Weight gain and body image challenges; Working with a sports dietitian  28:20 Nutrition struggles as a doctor/ healthcare professional 31:00 Long-term bone health consequences and repeat injuries  34:30 Dr. Jana's work as a family medicine physician; Treating lifestyle/ chronic conditions 39:30 Concierge medicine practices: giving patients better healthcare; Dr. Jana's practice: Concierge Medicine of West Michigan, opening in September 2024!  Follow Dr. Jana and Concierge Medicine of West Michigan @cmwestmichigan, and your host, Lindsey Cortes, on Instagram @female.athlete.nutrition  Natural Cycles: Check out Natural Cycles here and 20% off subscription plus free thermometer!

By Editor, Concierge Medicine Today   I have a unique seat on the bus in our healthcare culture to speak to Physicians from all walks of life. From early startups to late retirements, it's a fun job for the most part, pouring into Physicians' lives and sharing their thoughts on running a successful practice with you.   Once a quarter, we write a letter from the editor to our Physician readers at Concierge Medicine Today, echoing some of our guests' wisdom. It may include their wise sentiments, stories of woe, and the occasional [metaphorical] grab you by the shoulders peer-to-peer advice our Physician guests want to make sure you, our busy Physician readers, must know to be the best version of you FOR the world and your Patients.   Oddly enough, however, one theme trending in our weekly conversations with Physicians is "You have permission to be happy."   For some reason, happy Physicians are seen in our healthcare economy and burned-out culture as malfunctioning Physicians.   That's not okay with me.   I've even heard someone (a Physician) say from a stage to his colleagues, 'You should wear making no money as a badge of honor.'   That's not okay with me either.   One of my mentors, Jeff Henderson, recently said, "For some reason, profitable organizations are seen as evil in today's world. Sure, there are organizations that do bad things. Call me naive, but I think that's the exception. I think the world is better when we have thriving, profitable organizations. In fact, thriving communities require it."   I think he's right!   Dr. Nneka Unachukwu, a Physician and author of a new book, EntreMD said on our Podcast ... “The cavalry is not coming. The cavalry is here. The cavalry is us [i.e. Doctors]. We're [i.e. Doctors] the ones that are going to rise to the occasion and effect the change we [i.e. Doctors] want to see.”   I think she's right!   Applying these two wise statements to you and your place in our healthcare culture today, I would say, "I think our communities, [your Patients], your practice, your co-workers, your family, etc., are happier, healthier and more engaged with you when you have a thriving, profitable medical practice that you enjoy entering each day."   Isn't it interesting that when we actively study, interview, and understand the life of a happy Physician, we find that most, if not all, have seven things in common? I often see this displayed in many of the Concierge Medicine practices I interview. They include:   Happy Doctors typically don't rant online. Happy Doctors are usually not quick to criticize. Instead, they are quick to become students about topics, concepts, and things they realize are outside their expertise. Happy Doctors know that their purpose extends beyond the exam room. They are doing something to make their community a better place that refuels their depleted tank. Happy Doctors routinely cultivate good boundaries with colleagues, co-workers, patients, and friends. Happy Doctors often leave on time on specific days, whenever possible. Happy Doctors read many business books on time management, managing human resources, and more. Happy Doctors are mindful that attitude impacts their day and affects their relationships. For example, they can often be found writing a handwritten note of gratitude for their patients, peers, and colleagues.   In summary, it's no longer about being the best Doctor in the world; it's about being the best Doctor FOR the world, FOR your Patients, and FOR your local community.   Have a wonderful week ahead, and thank you FOR all you do to help so many people in your practice. We see you, we believe in you, and we are FOR YOU!   FOR YOU, FOR DOCTORS,   Editor-In-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today | Host, Organizer, the industry's annual medical education conference, the Concierge Medicine Forum   Originally posted: December 6, 2022   © Concierge Medicine Today, LLC.

By Concierge Medicine Today sources, with Contributions From CMT, Editor-in-Chief   UPDATED FOR JUNE 2024 | ATLANTA, GA—For almost two decades now, Concierge Medicine Today (CMT) has been reporting, discussing, writing, documenting, observing, and talking directly with you (i.e., Physicians) about all the various nuances the concierge medicine industry has on display. Many faces have changed, but everyone's spirits are still pretty high about the career satisfaction level this business model can provide physicians and patients.   At the same time, we have seen a few Doctors struggle with indecision. Particularly concerning are those physicians who are young, lack business acumen, and have little business experience, which is critical to making more informed decisions and succeeding as a physician-entrepreneur in this space.   Some doctors we've interviewed and observed even priced themselves well below what they should have and lived to tell their story of woe a few years later.   No matter how much enthusiasm you felt at a conference or peer pressure you're getting from a colleague, a salesperson, your staff, or even some patients to start a subscription-based healthcare practice right now, it's always prudent and wise to take a deep breath and examine all the possibilities, opportunities, consequences and your numbers first.   This is a big decision for any Physician. It's also not entirely your decision either. I bet your spouse, team members, and Patients might even have something to say that you should figure into your equation. For example, a supportive spouse who thinks you should do this is probably more important than a colleague or friends advice. If they're not on board yet, physicians and industry experts have told CMT over the years, ‘Wait until they [your spouse] come around, then move into this.'   Over the years, many Concierge Medicine Physicians have told CMT that operating and starting a subscription-based, concierge or direct-to-consumer membership medicine practice was not easy. However, it was (or is) so incredibly rewarding that they're glad they did it all these years later.   READ FULL STORY HERE ...   Disclaimer: This interview, story, article(s), series, webinar, podcast, etc., and/or site does not constitute legal, healthcare, medical, financial or other professional advice.
