5 Reasons to Switch to Concierge Medicine

Have you heard of concierge medicine? It’s an increasingly popular approach to healthcare because it offers a more personalized and accessible experience — and less frustration when getting the care you need.

If you're tired of long waits, rushed appointments, and a lack of meaningful connection with your healthcare provider, this approach might be the solution for you. Keven Tagdiri, MD, offers concierge medicine in Encinitas, California, with the goal of delivering a high level of care and convenience for patients.

At our clinic, your health is a top priority. Here are five key reasons to consider making the switch to a concierge practice.

1. Exclusive access to your doctor

One of the standout features of concierge medicine is having direct access to your doctor. Dr. Tagdiri gives concierge patients his personal contact information and a direct line to our office staff so you can reach him whenever you need, even outside of regular office hours.

Whether you have a pressing medical concern or a simple question, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you can communicate directly with your physician without navigating layers of automated systems. This exclusive level of access promotes a stronger relationship between you and your doctor, and it allows for more immediate responses to health issues.

2. Same-day or next-day appointments

In a traditional medical setting, it can take days, weeks, or sometimes even months to see your doctor. With concierge medicine, you don’t have to wait.

Dr. Tagdiri offers same-day or next-day appointments for his concierge patients, meaning you can get timely care when it matters most. Appointment scheduling is convenient, whether you’re managing chronic conditions or dealing with a sudden illness. 

Your health is always in capable hands, and scheduling appointments quickly also means quicker diagnoses and treatments.

3. Longer, more in-depth appointments

If you’ve ever been frustrated with spending a long time in the waiting room only to see the doctor for a few minutes, you’re not alone. Many healthcare practices today rush through appointments, but concierge medicine includes longer appointment times so you have the opportunity to thoroughly discuss your health concerns.

Dr. Tagdiri focuses on providing extended annual exams with a strong emphasis on preventive care. These comprehensive checkups allow him to detect potential health problems early and work with you to create a personalized care plan. 

This extended time together also fosters a more collaborative relationship in which you can ask questions, explore treatment options, and discuss health goals — without feeling rushed.

4. Customized services to meet your needs

Healthcare shouldn’t be a one-size-fits-all solution, and Dr. Tagdiri offers a wide range of medical services tailored to meet your individual needs. Our concierge services include full annual medical exams, geriatric services, adolescent and non-infant pediatric care, sports and DMV physical exams, and skin cancer services.

You’ll also have access to immunizations and vaccinations like flu shots and the shingles vaccine. With full in-house lab testing, diagnostic services, cardiac testing, bone density testing, and dietitian services, you can rest assured that your health is being managed holistically and with precision.

5. Enhanced patient advocacy

Last but not least, concierge medicine offers enhanced patient advocacy. Dr. Tagdiri and our team are dedicated to ensuring that you get the care you need, from coordinating with specialists to handling insurance issues.

As a concierge patient, you’ll receive more attention and support in navigating the healthcare system, making sure that your medical needs are met effectively and efficiently. This level of advocacy can be particularly valuable if you’re managing multiple or complex health conditions.
