About our Practice

Our practice is called Ultimate Access because our members benefit from extraordinary access to their personal physician at all times. Our routine office visits are scheduled for an hour or longer, so our members know there is no pressure to rush through a visit. They can contact us on our mobile phones to call us and text us 24/7 with their concerns or when they experience one of life’s inevitable problems. Have the comfort knowing that they are able to easily communicate with their own personal physician who knows them. We mold our schedule around our patients, so we frequently have office visits in the evening and on weekends. We do house-calls when needed, and we are happy to visit our members who reside in local nursing care facilities.

Ultimate Access Primary Care is a new way of doctoring called Concierge Medicine. Our members support us through quarterly fees, which is the key to unlocking an entirely different way of delivering primary care in our community. Our members’ support helps us provide more personalized care for a smaller number of patients than a typical internal medicine practice. Our small staff gets to know every member and vice versa, so interactions with our office are quick, friendly, and efficient. We aim for our office to have the feel of a small town doctor instead of the usual colossal primary care practice. Our Goal is for our Members to never feel rushed when visiting with their Personal Physician and to truly feel that their doctor cares about their health, happiness, and well being.
