How to work with me
One physician. Two steps.
You apply first. Accepted patients begin with the Assessment, at the one fee I publish for it. The form of ongoing care is settled together afterward, not picked from a menu.
- Precision Health Assessment: Care begins here for accepted patients: one thorough visit, in your home across the Charlotte metro or by video, your records read before we meet, and your written Precision Health Plan after.
- Precision Partnership: One longitudinal physician relationship, focused on longevity, prevention, and health optimization. Quarterly substantive reviews as the default rhythm, direct access between them, and additional follow-up when it is clinically necessary. Whether we continue working together is decided after the Assessment.
One ongoing relationship, the Precision Partnership, paid annually or month to month.
How to choose
Choosing a concierge or longevity doctor in Charlotte
Several different kinds of practice answer the same search in Charlotte, and each is good at something. Here is the map as I see it, including where mine is the wrong choice.
| Kind of practice | What it is best at | Who runs your care | What to ask about |
|---|---|---|---|
| Insurance-based primary care | Acute illness, chronic disease management, and everything insurance was designed to cover. | Your physician and a care team, on a roster of a couple thousand patients. | How long the visit is, and how a message between visits gets handled. |
| Hospital-system concierge | Faster access inside a system you already use, with its specialists behind it. | Your physician, with staff support. | Whether the membership fee sits on top of insurance, and whether visits are still billed. |
| National concierge network | A standardized concierge experience built around a thorough annual physical. | Your physician, following the network’s program. | Whether there is an initiation fee on top of the annual fee. |
| Longevity or wellness clinic | Quick access to testing, hormones, IV therapy, and imaging. | Varies. Often a nurse practitioner or a coach working from a protocol. | Who reads your results, whether a physician is responsible for them, and how the clinic is paid. |
| Concierge longevity medicine (this practice) | Longevity medicine from one physician over years, alongside the doctor you already have, or on its own. | Me. A board-certified family physician, taking a small number of households at a time. | That it is cash pay. If you want your visits billed to insurance, I am the wrong answer. |
If another practice in Charlotte answers those questions in a way that fits you better, take it. They are the right questions either way.
