Comprehensive care for all your family’s needs that fits your schedule.

Adult Primary Care

Elite Medicine is committed to providing outstanding, evidence-based primary care for our patients. Membership includes routine checkups, preventive care, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions, management of medications including new prescriptions and refills, and coordination of care with specialists for complex medical conditions.

Examples include, but are not limited to: nutrition, exercise and wellness, diagnosis and management of high blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid conditions, basic mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, insomnia), cancer screening, weight issues, common infections (urinary tract, skin, respiratory, sinus), skin conditions (eczema, acne), gastrointestinal conditions (acid reflux, irritable bowel, diarrhea, constipation), lung conditions (asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, allergies), tobacco and alcohol use, erectile dysfunction, testosterone therapy, hair loss, sleep apnea, travel medicine, arthritis, and back pain.

When patients require specialized care outside Elite Medicine’s primary care capabilities, referrals will be made to the appropriate specialist.

Minor procedures: Selected procedures are included with Elite Medicine membership. These include large joint injections, skin tag removal, skin biopsies, foreign body removal from the skin, nose or ears, and others. On rare occasions, urgent/emergent procedures may be performed at the discretion and availability of the practice. These urgent/emergent procedures may include: minor surgery such as abscess drainage, ingrown nail removal, or laceration repair, and others. For complex procedures that take more than 15 minutes, patients may incur an additional charge.

Point-of-care diagnostic testing: Selected point-of-care testing is included in the Elite Medicine membership, such as rapid influenza, Strep, and Covid testing, urinalysis and urine drug screens, pregnancy testing, stool testing for blood, fingerstick glucose, ear wax removal, electrocardiogram (EKG), as well as vital sign monitoring (blood pressure, pulse oximetry, others). More complex testing will be ordered by Elite Medicine as needed, though may require services of local lab or imaging providers.

Controlled substances: As a rule, Elite Medicine will provide controlled substance prescriptions, but on a limited and case-by-case basis. Patients requiring continued opiate medications for their care will likely be referred to a chronic pain specialist.

Pediatric and Adolescent Health

Elite Medicine is committed to providing outstanding, evidence-based primary care for pediatric patients of all ages and complexity. It is important to note that we do not currently stock childhood immunizations, so our recommended pediatric patient ages are children older than 5 years of age. If you would like to enroll a child under the age of 5, please reach out to a member of our team.

Membership includes routine checkups and well-child visits, sports and camp physicals, nutrition, exercise, and wellness counseling, diagnosis and treatment of acute and chronic conditions, management of medications including new prescriptions and refills, and coordination of care with specialists for complex medical conditions. Elite Medicine welcomes complex pediatric patients, including those with intellectual or physical disabilities, and those requiring periodic hospitalization or subspecialty care.

Conditions treated include, but are not limited to, well children, asthma, weight issues, diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid conditions, basic mental health concerns (depression, anxiety, insomnia), common infections (urinary tract, skin, respiratory, sinus), skin conditions (eczema, acne), gastrointestinal conditions (irritable bowel, diarrhea, constipation), pulmonary conditions (asthma, allergies), tobacco and alcohol use, travel medicine.

When patients require specialized care outside Elite Medicine’s primary care capabilities, referrals will be made to the appropriate specialist.

Men's Health

As a supplement to adult primary care services, included in Elite Medicine membership is a dedicated focus on Men’s health. Common issues include prostate health and cancer screening, testosterone therapy, hair loss, erectile dysfunction and sexual health, sleep apnea, and much more. Maintaining athletic performance for active men (and those that would like to be more active!) is another area of focus.

High-End Concierge Care

In-home visits: As appropriate and able, Elite Medicine will come to your home, office, or other location to complete the medical consultation. In addition to convenient and time-saving, house calls are an excellent way to get to know patients and their settings. House calls are particularly useful for patients with mobility issues.

Telemedicine consultations: Telemedicine is an outstanding option for patient-centered care. Convenient and efficient, telemedicine is underutilized in traditional practices who need in-person visits to bill insurance to make money. Because Elite Medicine does not bill insurance, telemedicine can replace in-person visits, thereby prioritizing your time and health. No more disruptions in your busy schedule just to refill stable prescriptions, adjust medications, or discuss mental health concerns. Not all visits are appropriate for telemedicine consultation, of course, and your doctor will make that decision with you. Telemedicine visits are conducted through a secure communication platform within the electronic medical record and do not require downloading a third-party app.

Technology Incorporation: Elite Medicine is committed to using patient-centered technology to ease communication and medical care. In addition to the electronic medical record patient portal and telemedicine, this may look like uploading home blood pressure and blood sugar readings for fast and precise adjustment of medications, setting and tracking fitness goals using the Apple watch, using smartphone apps to improve compliance with medication or nutrition plans, analyzing data from sleep peripheral monitors, and much more.

Wellness coaching: Set your own goals and receive support! Elite Medicine will work individually and in groups to encourage and assist each patient to make healthy lifestyle choices, including personalized guidance related to nutrition and exercise. Techniques to support mental wellness at work and at home may also be discussed.

Travel medicine: Elite Medicine membership is designed with clients who travel frequently in mind. Services include pre-travel consultations and preparation. While traveling, rest assured that Elite Medicine will be available to provide guidance and telemedicine consultation as needed and within reasonable limitations.

Executive Health Screenings: Many concierge medicine practices promise “annual executive screenings” that include multiple panels of blood testing, as well as full body scanning and genetic testing. These screenings are paid for out-of-pocket by patients and are a source of revenue for other concierge practices. Elite Medicine, being committed to evidence-based practice, will happily discuss testing options with you, including their potential benefits, risks and harms. However, our promise to each of our members is to always inform you as to the current scientific evidence behind medical decision-making, prioritizing your health and well-being over unnecessary testing or treatment. And we will never receive compensation for tests or imaging ordered for our patients.

Cutting-edge Treatments: Concierge medicine members are often interested in exploring newer diagnosis and treatment options for common conditions. Interested in micro-dosing, personalized medicine, alternative medications? While Elite Medicine does not claim expertise in these areas, fewer clients means that we will take time to explore the available data on these treatments and provide guidance as able. Do not expect Elite Medicine to prescribe alternative and complementary treatments as common practice, particularly as there is often not enough evidence to support their use, but we are happy to support each patient’s exploration of these options in as safe a manner as possible.

Hospitalization consultation: Hospitalizations can be scary and confusing, and primary care providers who know you best are often not included once a patient is hospitalized. Members can expect their Elite Medicine provider to be available during hospitalizations to help navigate and advocate for the best and most appropriate hospital-based care, both with the patient and their hospital providers. We will also work to facilitate a smooth transition upon hospital discharge.

Adoption paperwork assistance: Elite Medicine will assist patients in understanding and navigating the medical component of adoption paperwork and discuss common medical conditions and adjustments frequently seen with adopted children.

Advanced Care Planning: Elite Medicine will facilitate and assist conversations regarding goals of care and patient wishes at the end of life.

Concierge Care Coordinator: staff will assist in scheduling specialty appointments for you, obtaining medical records as needed, troubleshooting with pharmacies, and much more.
