Boutique Medicine Network
Boutique Medicine is a type of medical practice now found in many metropolitan areas across the country. Also known as Concierge Health Care, Concierge Medicine or Retainer Medicine, the concept has come to represent a higher level of healthcare for those who want a more personalized relationship with their physician. This model has proven successful for those physicians who want to see a fewer number of patients on a day to day basis thus allowing them to spend more time nourishing individual patient relationships.
Boutique Medical practices allow the doctor to set the rules for their practice. In return the patient gets more individualized and personal care. In many boutique medical practices, the physician only takes a limited number of patients in the practice. They are often on call 24 hours a day and some even will make house calls. Boutique medical physicians will often see you sooner than a larger practice and the appointments are usually scheduled to be longer than the 8-10 minutes managed care allots doctors for a visit.
