Converting your practice to the concierge model can bring a wealth of benefits to your work life and patients. Because it utilizes a subscription-based system rather than relying on the traditional insurance reimbursement framework, you can enjoy greater freedom with a concierge business strategy.
Not only would you have less paperwork, but you’d also have fewer restrictions when it comes to treatment options. With concierge medicine, you can focus more on preventative care and increasing patients’ health literacy. The end result is more face time with the people you treat and higher patient satisfaction.
If you’re still not sure about the concierge model, these reviews might make the choice clearer. Read the following medical concierge testimonials to find out what our clients have to say about Specialdocs Consultants’ services.

Revolutionary Journeys
to Concierge Medicine
Revolutionary Journeys to Concierge Medicine is a video series, produced by Specialdocs Consultants, depicting the stories of physicians who’ve transitioned from the traditional care model to a concierge model practice.
The physicians describe the continuing challenges of the traditional practice model and how Specialdocs helped them make a successful transition to concierge medicine.
“If you are feeling the pressure that you don’t have enough time to see the patients that you want to see, you don’t feel like you have the balance in your life that allows you to be the best doctor that you can be, those add up to reasons to think about a change. For me, that change was concierge medicine. I chose Specialdocs because they stood out and they still do today.”
