What is concierge care?
Concierge medical practices were the brainchild of a former Seattle Supersonics team doctor, who established the first practice in 1996 to provide his patients with the level of detailed, personal and convenient care that athletes receive. Today, the concierge care concept exists in more than 20 states and has been proven successful in many practices nationwide as a way to address current healthcare system challenges. The American Medical Association adopted recommendations for concierge physicians in 2003, and the American Society of Concierge Physicians was organized in 2004.
