Between your blood pressure, your cholesterol and the knee that has slowed your Saturday walks since June, you have more to cover than one short visit allows. A friend says her concierge doctor gives her a whole hour for every checkup. So, you’ve started looking for the best concierge primary care doctor near Annandale, VA, hoping more time means a plan you’ll follow. Here’s what Healthline says about longer visits, and how an annual physical turns into a preventive plan at Annandale Primary Care.
Does the Best Concierge Primary Care Doctor Near Annandale, VA Spend More Time With You?
Usually, yes. According to Healthline, concierge practices limit their patient lists, so their doctors typically see six to eight people a day, and preventive care and wellness are often a focus. However, Healthline also lists high annual fees that insurance and Medicare don’t cover, and notes that concierge care may not cover all of your medical needs.
How Much Time Will I Have at My First Primary Care Visit?
Ask when you book, since our site doesn’t list visit lengths. At your first physical, our physical exam page notes that your provider reviews your past medical history and medications, along with your sleeping habits and eating patterns, before the exam itself. Then, you’ll go over the knee, the walks you’d like back, and what you’ve tried so far.
How Will Dr. Le Keep My Preventive Care Plan on Track?
Dr. Connie Le, an internal medicine specialist with more than 25 years of experience, lists preventive health and longevity among her focuses, along with cardiovascular disease. Typically, you and Dr. Le will decide what to work on first, such as your blood pressure, and when she’d like to see your readings again. In the event she refers you to an orthopedist for the knee, ask how the specialist’s notes will come back to her.
On our testimonials page, one patient wrote that Dr. Le “is on top of everything that’s going on with me.” Today, she sees patients at our Annandale office on Evergreen Lane, with a second office on Old Lee Highway in Fairfax.
