Perspective | Why I’m encouraging my millennial daughter to find a primary care doctor
The New York Times asked “Should You Choose a Female Doctor?” and while the positive answer may not be surprising, the evidence actually points not to gender, but to time as the essence of outstanding care. As a concierge physician for almost two years, I can attest to why time makes such an appreciable difference. Every day I’m grateful for the opportunity to listen, hear my patients’ stories and form a deeper, more meaningful connection.

Should You Choose a Female Doctor?
As almost 10,000 Baby Boomers officially become senior citizens each day, we continue to learn how to best prevent age-related conditions and help ensure a vibrant next chapter. At a recent community talk I presented on Healthy Aging, I shared this good news: 70% of the way we age is within our control. Here are some vital components to consider as you develop your own plan for healthy aging:
• Exercise regularly, at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week
• Stimulate your intellect to ward off dementia
• Choose nutrient-rich over calorie-dense foods

Concierge medicine in the news
The New York Times recently published an intriguing article titled “The Doctor Is In. Co-Pay? $40,000“ regarding an elite tier of concierge medicine that is becoming increasingly popular in Silicon Valley. I was delighted to see that the reported benefits – time, access and personal attention – are exactly what I offer in my new concierge practice, but of course, at a fraction of the cost. The fact is that we all share a mutual passion, as the reporter accurately sums up, for “providing the same service as the family doctor did a half-century ago for millions of Americans.”
