Direct communication with me or my assistant during business hours.

Unlike many other medical practices, when you call my office during office hours there will be no recording to navigate…only real people to take your call, with a real concern for your health and well-being. In the event that you need to leave a message, your phone call will be returned promptly. If you deem your problem “urgent” I will make every effort to speak to you at the time of your call.

Advanced biometric testing.

I offer patients in-house testing through Dexafit. Moultrie Medical patients can receive the Dexa Body Composition Scan, VO2 Max Test, and Resting Metabolic Rate Testing once per year included in the annual membership.

Convenient email communication for non-urgent health issues or questions.

You will receive a prompt response from me personally (usually within 24 hours). Because email communication is not always secure, please use discretion when choosing topics to discuss with me via this platform. Your patient email portal is the best way to communicate securely and confidentially.

Little or no office waiting room time, and longer appointments.

Office visits will start promptly with little or no waiting in a wait or exam room. Appointments will generally be scheduled for approximately 30 minutes, and appointments for a Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment will be scheduled for approximately 60 minutes. These appointments are more than twice the length of time of a typical traditional practice and may potentially reduce the need for specific outside specialist visits. My goal is to afford you the time to thoroughly address all your questions and concerns, regardless of the reason for your visit.

Extended office hours.

Office visits are best scheduled when the full complement of staff is available. However, should you require occasional visits outside of my usual office hours, I will certainly do my best to reasonably accommodate you.

Strong focus on preventive medicine and long-term health and wellness.

As part of my commitment to your long-term health and wellness, my philosophy is to educate you about the importance of fitness, weight management, healthy living and, in addition to the clinical services I already offer through my practice, I will assist you to identify and evaluate wellness providers and offerings. This will support your effort to take an active role in managing and maintaining your good health.

Personalized hospital care.

Should you need to be hospitalized, I will make myself available when I can to communicate with you and to serve as an advocate on your behalf, even when you are admitted to a facility at which I do not have privileges or where I am not your attending physician. If you wish, unless hospital policy or protocol does not allow, I will do what I reasonably can to remain involved in your care by communicating with the hospitalists or other attending physicians who are providing services to you.
House calls. If you are ill and unable to come to the office, but not homebound, a house call may be offered at no additional charge beyond an office visit fee. However, the need for each out-of-office visit will be determined on a case-by-case basis, at my discretion.

“Virtual” consultations and long-distance care.

Whether you are on a brief vacation, living some of the year in a second residence, or otherwise unable to come to the office, I will offer a “virtual” consultation as determined on a case-by-case basis, at my discretion and subject to applicable state law requirements. However, if in my judgment you need to be seen by a local physician, you will be encouraged by me to seek medical attention. I will communicate with you directly, as well as with your treating physician as needed, to support the coordination of your care on health issues that may arise.

Adult dependent children of members are welcome.

If a parent opts to join my personalized care practice, I will be happy to care for his/her adult dependent children ages of 7 up to 26, with a discounted fee.

Care for visiting relatives and/or friends.

Should your out-of-town family or friends become ill during a visit to the area, I will be happy to see them in my office and assist with their medical care. I will treat them as though they were members of my practice.

Quarterly newsletter on topics relevant to your health and well-being.

I will provide seasonal newsletters on medical subjects of interest.

Travel medicine consultation.

I will offer guidance on CDC recommended inoculations and/or precautions to be taken while traveling.
