Over the years we have formed a bond with every single one of the patients in our practice. Patients who choose not to continue with us under the concierge program will be missed and we will do our best to help them find a new primary care provider. Most patients will be able to continue to stay in this practice and be seen by our other PA Elizabeth Lizzy Elam, PA-C. We also have plans on hiring a new provider in the near future to handle some of the load. Patients need to keep in mind that due to time constraints, Lizzy will no longer be able to have extensive visits as we have been able to do in the past. Visits will be more problem focused and lab testing will need to be basic. This will be no different than what most of the other primary care practices provide in our area. Unfortunately, complex issues such as weight management, hormone replacement, peptide therapy, and gut health cannot be feasibly managed in this setting. For patients that still want to have those services but do not elect to join the concierge side, we can help you find a functional medicine provider that may be able to offer the services for you. Keep in mind that functional medicine providers rarely take insurance for office visits, medications, or testing.
