The Personal Physician is a service that offers the patient access to the doctor 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The truth is, The Personal Physician goes far beyond the “fee for access”. The Personal Physician values individualized attention and prevention and has chosen to limit his practice to a small number of patients. In order to deliver personalized medical care focused on prevention and wellness, backed by early detection and state - of - the - art treatment and condition management.
This approach to general medicine
cannot be offered in most traditional primary care practices.
A physician in a typical practice of 4,000 patients
could not provide a comprehensive annual physical examination
to all patients. In order to do this would require in
excess of 4,500 hours, or one year. In that case, a
physician would have no time available to deliver any
care to patients other than the physical examination.
By limiting the practice size, Dr. DePrince has time
to provide both extensive preventive and wellness care
and treatment of acute and chronic illness. Personal
Physician patients consider health and healthcare to
be vital to their lives and are willing to invest in
their health to live the best life possible.
