What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a unique setup for medical care that is membership-based only. By paying an annual fee, you receive top-tier care with increased access to your provider. 

Dr. Milligan is available on an ongoing basis to all of his concierge patients. Each time you call the office, he is the one to pick up the phone. He also offers appointments with unlimited duration so you can be sure that he addresses all of your concerns before you end the call. 

For any of the services that concierge medicine covers, you don’t have to go through insurance. You can still benefit from having insurance for more serious or specialty health concerns, but concierge medicine covers all your primary care needs without the extra costs and paperwork. 

What are the benefits of concierge medicine?

  • A more personal patient-provider relationship
  • Travel care coordination
  • Access to your provider from anywhere and at any time
  • Prompt coordination with other health specialists 

Over time, Dr. Milligan becomes increasingly familiar with your medical history and is therefore able to provide more personalized and effective care. For more complex medical conditions, he can also coordinate treatments with specialists and inpatient facilities if you need their expertise.
