Buckhead Medicine Concierge Introduction

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN BUCKHEAD MEDICINEA Concierge Medicine Practice Established in 2008 Turn Page

At Buckhead Medicine we recognize the significance and importance of selecting your primary care physician and medical home.We know this may be one of the most important decisions that you make for you and your family! THIS IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION

THE US HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IS IN TURMOIL. TODAY'S PRIMARY CARE SYSTEM EXEMPLIFIES THE PROBLEM. Traditional primary care is not what it used to be. Insurance promotes the most basic care and pushes doctors to focus on QUANTITY of patients seen INSTEAD of QUALITY of care delivered. This care is hurried, impersonal and lacks quality.  This leads to: Long wait times Impersonal relationship with your doctor Difficulty in scheduling Poor quality care Hurried or rushed visits

PATIENTRELATIONSHIP When you become a patient at  Buckhead Medicine you are establishing a personal relationship with your doctor. No longer will you experience an impersonal relationship  with your doctor.
