Yes, concierge care works with Medicare. While patients can continue to use their Medicare benefits for covered services, the concierge care fee is separate and provides additional benefits and services not covered by Medicare. This ensures patients receive the enhanced, personalized care offered by Dr. Rao and Dr. Shafai's concierge program.

One of the primary advantages of concierge medicine is the flexibility and frequency of visits. Patients can see Dr. Rao as often as needed without additional fees beyond the membership cost.

Whether it's a routine checkup, follow-up for a medical concern, or an urgent visit, appointments are usually available quickly – often the same or next day. Since Dr. Rao manages fewer patients, she can dedicate more time and availability to each individual. This personalized approach allows for ongoing and consistent care without the long wait times that are common in traditional primary care settings.

Yes, concierge doctors can provide referrals to specialists when additional expertise is needed. These referrals are often more personalized, as concierge physicians tend to have established relationships with trusted specialists in the area. They can even coordinate the referral process, follow up on test results, and maintain communication with the specialist to ensure seamless care. This added support helps patients feel more confident and guided throughout their healthcare experience.

Absolutely. Concierge medicine is well-suited for managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, and more.

With more time per appointment and easier access to their doctor, patients receive closer monitoring, personalized treatment plans, and quicker adjustments when needed. Regular follow-ups, lifestyle guidance, and proactive care all contribute to better long-term outcomes.

Concierge medicine supports executive health and wellness by offering flexible, efficient, and highly personalized care that fits busy schedules.

Executives often face high stress levels and limited time. The convenience of same-day appointments, direct communication with Dr. Rao, and access to preventive screenings is especially valuable. These services help detect and manage potential health issues early, reduce downtime from illness, and support long-term wellness goals.

Yes, you will typically need to pay separately for lab tests, imaging, and medications, as these services are not usually included in the concierge membership fee. However, we work with labs and diagnostic centers to help coordinate services more efficiently. You can often use your health insurance to cover these additional costs as well, depending on your specific plan.
