Benefits of a Membership
Concierge medicine is about a personal relationship with your doctor, a board-certified experienced internist. You will have access to punctual, easygoing and extended appointments. An extended appointment will allow the doctor to address not only your main complaint, but also other medical issues that can be relevant to your health. Concierge medicine has a strong focus on immunizations and preventative medicine. The additional time allows your doctor to go more in depth about wellness.
As part of your membership, you will receive:
- More Time with Your Doctor
- Minimal or No Waiting
- Same Day Sick Appointments
- In-House Lab
- Direct access to Dr. Bendetowicz
- Hospital Support Service
- Travel Medicine Service
- Yearly Executive Physical
More Time with Your Doctor
Thanks to extended office visits the typical visit duration will last between 30 and 60 minutes, as necessary. Appointments give you time to address not only concerns, but also to work on lifestyle goals and prevention.
Minimal or No Waiting
Decreased patient volume allows for timely appointments. Most of the time is spent in the consult and not in the waiting room.
Same Day Sick Appointments
In person or virtual as appropriate.
Direct Access to Dr. Bendetowicz
Reach Dr. Bendetowicz when you need him on his private cell phone. For after-hours access, direct telephone, secure texting, or video conference are available.
In-House Lab
Enjoy the convenience of blood drawn at your doctor’s office. No longer is it necessary to go to a different place for your regular lab work or long delays for an
appointment. Easy scheduling is available.
Hospital Support Service
In the event of a hospitalization, and upon your request, Dr. Bendetowicz can discuss with you or your family about your situation as well as speak with the treating doctors as appropriate. That can be done either over the phone, videoconference or in person, as appropriate.
Travel Medicine Service
Advice about medical aspects of international travel. Recommendations
before your trip and electronic communication during your travel.
Yearly Executive Physical
A personalized comprehensive history and physical exam designed specifically for you.
Our Membership Options
Premium
For patients 64 years old and younger. It offers most of the features that you may need from a Concierge Medicine doctor. It is particularly good for healthy people who want to emphasize health and prevention and for busy individuals who don’t have the time to spend in the waiting room.
Snowbird Special
As we affectionately call it, designed for residents who stay in Lee County for about six months of the year. It provides the most important features that you may need when spending wintertime in Fort Myers.
Full
The most comprehensive membership option includes all available features and is available for patients of any age.
Our Fees
We use the “Hybrid System.” As you may know, most concierge practices don’t take insurance. Therefore, their costs are much higher, and you have additional work to bill your own health insurance for a partial refund of your costs. With our system, we take insurance, so you only pay for the “non-covered” services. We will bill your insurance and your secondary insurance for the covered services only. You don’t have any additional work to do. This makes our services much more affordable than most concierge practices, with excellent quality and a variety of services. You can choose monthly, quarterly or yearly payments. To find out more about our fees, please click here.
