Dr. Benjamin Soffer, DO
Board-certified internist. Former Chair of Internal Medicine. Associate Professor at FAU. Dr. Soffer chose direct pay to eliminate insurance barriers and focus entirely on patient care.
The Bottom Line
We don't accept insurance because it gets between you and your doctor. Insurance companies dictate appointment length, deny treatments, and delay care. Direct pay is better.
You pay a membership fee directly to us for our time, availability, and expertise. Insurance still covers your labs, imaging, and specialists — they're billed separately. We offer flexible membership options based on your needs.
This model gives you 30+ minute visits (not 10), same-day access, 24/7 availability, house calls, and care based on what's medically best — not what insurance approves.
How Insurance Hurts Your Care
Traditional insurance practices create barriers to good medicine.
Time Limits
Insurance dictates 10-minute visits. Your doctor spends more time on paperwork than with you. No time for complex problems.
Prior Authorization
Need an MRI? Insurance says "wait 3-7 days for approval." We order it now. You get answers faster.
Denials & Surprise Bills
Insurance denies treatments we recommend. Or you see an "out-of-network" specialist and get surprise bills.
Bureaucracy
Your doctor spends 20+ minutes per patient fighting insurance companies. Time that could be spent on your care.
How Direct Pay Helps Your Care
Concierge medicine removes barriers and puts your care first.
30–45 Minute Visits
You get the time you need. Complex problems get full attention, not a rushed assessment.
Same-Day Access
Need to be seen today? You will be. No waiting weeks for an opening.
No Denials
We recommend what's medically best for you, not what insurance approves. Your care, not their profit margin.
House Calls
Your doctor comes to you. No urgent care copays, no ER bills for things that should be office visits.
Why Concierge is Worth It
Concierge medicine costs more than traditional insurance, but the value is undeniable.
You get 30+ minute visits, same-day access, 24/7 availability, house calls, and care based on what's medically best for you — not what insurance approves.
