While the core concept of Concierge Medicine is to provide more time to fewer patients, the way each practice utilizes that time depends on their philosophy. This has led to the emergence of several practice models within Concierge Medicine. When considering a practice, it's important to assess whether their philosophy aligns with yours.

A popular practice model involves extensive testing and treatments, including full-body scans, longevity supplements, IV infusions, and stem cells. However, upon closer inspection, you will notice that these practices all follow different protocols, and make different claims about what makes you healthy.
