Concierge Medicine

See related article

The recommendations on finding a concierge doctor in this story are excellent. I am a Detroit boy and just published the first book on the subject, "Concierge Medicine; A New System to Get the Best Healthcare."(Greenwood/Praeger,2008)

In the book, I outline the various types of concierge medicine, how to find a concierge physician, how to interview a concierge physician and how to finance this investment in your health. I also confront the so-called "ethical arguments" against this form of care.

CM is here to stay. It is a patient-driven movement that is changing the face of medicine for the better.
