Rockville Concierge Doctors’ Blog

Breast cancer is a leading cause of premature deaths among women in the United States. Nobody enjoys getting a mammogram, but statistics have shown the death rate of this disease has been reduced at least in part due to early detection. Your personal and family medical history can help determine whether you are at average risk or higher risk for breast cancer. It’s important to note, though, that most women who develop breast cancer do not have a family history of the disease.

The idea of a concierge primary care doctor isn’t a new concept. For most of modern history, primary care doctors were connecting with their patients and families that needed them. They truly knew their patients – their medical histories, jobs, and habits. They even saw patients of different generations within the same family. What we call concierge primary care is the way medicine used to be in terms of time and attention focused on the patient.
