Concierge Medicine vs Traditional Healthcare — What's the Real Difference?

The difference is not luxury — it’s time. When your doctor has 50 patients instead of 2,500, everything changes: access, attention, outcomes.

Why Patients Switch

Patients who switch from traditional medicine to concierge care notice the difference immediately.

Your Time Is Respected

No more waiting weeks for an appointment, then sitting in a waiting room for 45 minutes, then getting 7 minutes with your doctor. In concierge medicine, you are seen the same day, on time, for 30–60 minutes.

Real Access to Your Doctor

In traditional medicine, you call the office and leave a message. In concierge medicine, you call or text your doctor directly — and they actually answer. Day, night, weekends, holidays.

House Calls When You Need Them

Feeling too sick to drive? Have mobility challenges? Dr. Soffer comes to you. No urgent care waiting rooms. No ER copays for non-emergencies.

A Doctor Who Actually Knows You

With 50 patients instead of 2,500, your doctor knows your medical history, your family, your lifestyle, and your goals — without looking at a chart.

Proactive, Not Reactive

Traditional medicine is reactive — you get sick, you make an appointment. Concierge medicine is proactive — your doctor monitors, prevents, and catches problems early.

Better Health Outcomes

Studies show concierge medicine patients have fewer hospitalizations, fewer ER visits, and better management of chronic conditions. More time with your doctor leads to better health.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main difference between concierge medicine and a traditional doctor?+
The biggest difference is the number of patients. A traditional doctor manages 2,500 or more patients, resulting in 7-minute visits and weeks-long wait times. Dr. Soffer limits his practice to 50 patients, allowing same-day appointments, 30–60 minute visits, and 24/7 direct access.
Is concierge medicine worth the cost?+
Patients who switch consistently report better health outcomes, fewer ER visits, earlier detection of health issues, and significantly higher satisfaction. The membership covers your doctor’s time and availability — you still use insurance for labs, imaging, and specialists.
Do I still use my insurance with concierge medicine?+
Yes. The membership fee covers access and time with your physician. Your insurance continues to cover labs, imaging, specialist referrals, prescriptions, and hospitalizations.
How do I switch from my current doctor?+
Switching is straightforward. Dr. Soffer’s team handles the transition, including obtaining your medical records. Most patients are fully transitioned within a week.
