Our physician’s and their teams are committed to not only improving patients’ outcomes, but also improving their quality of life. We provide a conscientious standard of care in an unhurried environment, where the patients come first. WellcomeMD offers a wide range of services for our members.
You become a WellcomeMD member by enrolling with our doctor’s and pay a monthly fee. This membership fee is a departure from the way mainstream practices are organized, of course. But the fee allows a concierge doctor to see a much smaller number of patients. It provides more of that precious ingredient of quality care: the doctor’s time with you, and knowledge of your health history. WellcomeMD will make it possible for you to be in much closer touch with your doctor, via email and even by the doctor’s cellphone – you have the number. You will pay your co-pays, just as you do in a regular practice.
