Good health is a goal of most everyone. Getting the proper care on a regular basis is one way to stay on a healthy course. Yet, many North Texans put off visiting with a primary care physician because they aren’t clear on how to navigate the health care system and its many options.

Concierge medicine primary care from Texas Health Executive Direct, a Texas Health Physicians Group practice, aims to change all that by simplifying the health care journey. Barriers to wellness are removed and what you are left with is a direct pathway to the care you need, when you need it.

Your Personal Health Care Concierge is In

Making your way through doctor’s appointments, referrals to specialists, even prescription refills can be overwhelming unless you live in the health care space and know how to advocate for what you need. With concierge care from Texas Health Executive Direct, you get access to a personalized primary care program complete with a physician who prioritizes your wellness goals and guides you through them.

“Think of your concierge medicine physician as your health care navigator,” says internist Jennifer Hinkle, M.D., of Texas Health Executive Direct in Fort Worth. “When you meet with your physician, you get ‘white-glove treatment’ for everything from physicals to chronic health conditions.”

What does white-glove care from Texas Health Executive Direct look like? “It’s about understanding your health and getting you the care that’s important for maintaining that health,” adds internist Luke Ouyang, M.D., at Texas Health Executive Direct’s Allen location. “Navigating the health care ecosystem can be challenging for many, especially busy professionals with time constraints and aging adults who may have specific conditions to manage. Concierge care provides tailored services in a way that’s straightforward and comfortable.”

Why Have a Health Care Navigator by Your Side?

Much like a friend who’s with you through thick and thin, having an ongoing relationship with a primary care physician who can guide you through your routine care is important for optimal health. Your concierge physician as a health care navigator:

• Helps you understand your health and any changes.
• Helps keep health issues at bay with prevention-based services.
• Assists you in managing illness and chronic disease.
• Provides personalized guidance through options for tests and specialized services, coordinating referrals and care within the larger Texas Health system (as needed).
• Develops a wellness plan customized to your personal health goals.
• Helps you achieve long-term wellness.
