A Different Way of Thinking about Healthcare
Taking care of yourself, your body, and your well-being is more than simple checkups and doctor visits when you fall ill. It’s important to think about your health in the long term – and with the concierge medical coverage offered by our Signature Care plan, you’ll gain a strong personal relationship with your physician and get the most out of your care.
Concierge: Above and Beyond Traditional Healthcare
Traditional, non-concierge medical practices often face a number of problems related to patient care. While the average American physician sees anywhere from 3,000 to 5,000 patients per year, concierge physicians see fewer than 1,000 – giving them the opportunity to spend more time with patients during appointments as well as set aside free time for emergencies. With fewer patients, doctors can give more personal attention to each case, and Signature Medicine patients have the ability to contact their physician via cell or email 24/7. For only $125 per month, patients gain unlimited access to their doctor and unlimited time with him. In today’s healthcare system where time is limited and care coordination is absent, take a moment to think about how much you and your family’s health is worth.
Signature Medicine’s Signature Care plan offers more than the average medical office. Our patients enjoy a close, personal relationship with their physician, which offers them the freedom to ask questions and receive answers to all of their and their families’ important health questions. Signature Care patients also enjoy a high-standard Preventative Care program, which places a strong focus on preventive healthcare and longevity through diagnostic testing, weight management, nutrition, smoking cessation, stress reduction, and more. This focus on early detection, chronic disease optimization, and lifestyle management takes the patient’s healthcare goals into consideration while detecting health problems that arise at their earliest stages.

Why choose Concierge Healthcare?
Concierge medicine is about providing premium services to select clients who seek a higher level of personal attention – and giving them a better medical experience. By limiting the number of patients he sees, Dr. Sitapara is able to provide each of his patients with better quality care, more access to his consultations, longer and unrushed appointment times, and more complete testing without being overloaded by a large volume of patients.
Imagine feeling relaxed or even happy to visit your physician’s office. You’ll enjoy the opportunity to speak with Dr. Sitapara about your health and concerns, and your Signature Care membership allows him to listen to your concerns, run important diagnostic tests, and even visit with you at home or speak with you after hours if necessary.
How much does Concierge Healthcare cost?
The correct question is, "How much do you value your health?" Concierge healthcare is often surprisingly affordable, and patients of Signature Medicine receive a premium level of care for a very affordable rate. To enjoy an enhanced level of health services and convenience, patients pay $125 per month or an annual membership fee of $1500 for an individual or $2800 for two members from the same family.
While your health insurance will provide for your basic medical services, the membership fee is typically not covered by insurance. However, most Signature Care patients agree that the level of care they receive for such a low additional fee makes concierge healthcare completely worth the price.
