About Patient-Centered Care
The patient-centered medical practice model allows us to focus on providing personalized patient care, rather than on completing insurance paperwork. We purposely limit the number of patients within the practice so that each can receive:
- Careful attention and a customized treatment plan
- One-hour appointments
- Convenient Scheduling, often offering same day appointments
- After-hours access to Dr. High via a designated cell phone line and email address
- Reduced waiting room times
Each patient’s annual subscription fee covers the cost of all doctor appointments for a full year, along with many in-office procedures. While the practice does not accept insurance for Dr. High’s time (covered by the subscription), patients may use insurance for lab work, hospitalization, prescription medications and specialists such as orthopedists and obstetricians.
Increased interaction with our patients allows us to thoughtfully consider existing or potential illnesses, injuries, and medical conditions, and to examine outside health influences such as lifestyle, family medical history, risk factors, personality types, etc. Because you have access to Dr. High after hours as well as quick appointment scheduling, you will never have to wait to discuss a concern with your doctor.
