Concierge Medicine

Concierge medicine is a unique approach to health services that enhances your ability to connect with your chosen practitioner and get the care you need when and where you need it. Nurse practitioner Cassie Harrison, NP, chose to include a concierge model of service when shaping Paradise Family Practice, expanding access to residents from Orange City, Florida, and the surrounding region.

How does concierge medicine work?

Concierge medicine is a model of practice that provides you with enhanced access to your chosen healthcare provider. It’s an approach that strives to help you obtain care from a provider you know and trust without having to wait weeks or longer for a traditionally scheduled appointment. 

Paradise Family Practice offers in-home care through the concierge model. That means you can get many of your routine health needs met in the comfort of your home, as opposed to coming in for in-office care. You can also have your visits conducted at your place of work if that’s more convenient for you. 

What kinds of services are available through concierge medicine?

You can meet a majority of your routine health needs through concierge medicine. This includes annual physical exams and specialized exams like sports physicals and work physicals. 

When it comes to primary care, concierge medicine can cover routine health screenings as well as provide any vaccines you may need. There’s plenty of time built into these visits to ask questions and receive guidance on any health and wellness topics of interest to you. 

If you’re living with one or more chronic illnesses, like diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol, or asthma, chronic disease management services can also be delivered during concierge medicine appointments. 

How can I make the most of my concierge medicine visits?

As with any medical visit, taking some time to prepare can help you get the most out of your time with Cassie. Begin by making a list of any health issues you’re concerned about, including symptoms that have developed since your last visit. 

Writing things down helps ensure you cover all of the topics you’d like. It’s easy to overlook something during a health visit, and having a list helps keep you on track. Of course, having a way to take notes during your visit is also a great idea. 

If you take medication on a regular basis, create a list of all medications, including dosage. Cassie can review your drug therapy to ensure that your medications are delivering the desired effects, and will advise you if changes should be considered.
