“Through Concierge Medical Services of Family Practice Associates of Upper Dublin, I have been able to relate to my patients as a traditional family physician. Our relationships have been enhanced with the ability to spend more time with each other. We can delve into life’s medical and social complexities which results in better and more comprehensive care. I feel rejuvenated and energized. My passion for family medicine and treating patients without the constraints posed by current insurance realities is back to where it was when I first started practicing medicine.”
