Choosing the right primary care provider for you or your family matters—they become your trusted partner for everything from performing routine screenings to handling minor infections to managing complex illnesses. That’s why at Alpine Wellness, we proudly offer concierge primary care in Reno, an innovative approach to care that puts your health first, always.
But what is concierge primary care, exactly? How does it differ from traditional healthcare practices and primary care? And who is it for?
Let’s take a closer look and learn how Alpine Wellness not only provides better access to care but also supports your whole-body wellness, so you can take charge of your health.
The Old Model: Conventional Primary Care
Rushed. Unheard. Dismissed.
These are just some of the feelings you might have experienced in conventional primary care in Reno. That’s partly because conventional models rely on insurance to support care, leading to high patient volume and a range of challenges for both patients and providers.
According to a 2012 study by the University of California, a doctor working 43 hours a week could manage 983 patients over the course of a year. But typical primary care physicians have 1,800 to 2,000 patients, with some even exceeding 3,000.
This mismatch leads to:
- Shorter, hurried visits: Pressured by insurance, doctors see up to 20 patients a day, so appointment lengths get cut short.
- Surface-level care: With limited time and focus, providers only address immediate issues instead of digging deep to address underlying causes.
- Reactive treatments: Rather than taking the time to prevent illness and disease, doctors provide treatments only after symptoms arise.
- Limited access: When providers have such busy schedules, you can’t always get in touch with them or ask important questions in between appointments.
- Lack of personalization: One-size-fits-all treatments reign supreme, and your provider may ignore your unique needs and symptoms in favor of convenient, preset care.
- Superficial relationships: Burned-out providers with overloaded schedules don’t have the energy or space to build meaningful relationships with their patients.
All of these factors conspire to keep patients from receiving the level of dedication and attention they need to truly maintain their health.
Raising the Bar With Concierge Medicine
Concierge primary care in Reno, an up-and-coming healthcare model, bypasses insurance and allows us to get straight to what matters most: you and your well-being.
Our commitment to compassion, integrity, and excellence informs how we approach this innovative framework. Let’s break down how our concierge model translates into real results for you.
Compassion: Respect for You and Your Family
We respect you and your time, and you deserve a provider who makes the effort to understand you and your whole-body health. That’s why our primary care model includes:
- Longer, In-Depth Appointments: You should never feel like you’re being hurried out the door at our office. We take the time to listen, ask questions, and address any concerns you might have for more complete care.
- Greater Access: Our phone lines stay open after-hours for urgent medical concerns, so you get all the support you need.
- Dedicated Attention: Our small, highly trained staff gets to know you on a personal level, because we truly care. This also helps us recommend treatments tailored for your unique situation.
Integrity: Holistic Healing You Can Trust
We believe in care that works. For primary care in Reno, our providers take the time to give you:
- Comprehensive Analysis: We address the root cause of your symptoms by digging deep into your concerns and background through detailed questions and tests.
- Individualized Treatment Plans: We approach each patient with open ears so we can understand their symptoms and curate a treatment plan that works for their unique circumstances.
- Proactive Care: With more time for appointments, we can focus on helping you stay healthy for the long-term rather than just reacting to illnesses as they happen.
Excellence: Going Above and Beyond
We highly value our concierge members. That’s why we offer additional perks to help promote whole-body wellness. Beyond primary care, our members enjoy:
- Discounted IV Infusions: Replenish and recharge with IV infusions to fight brain fog, weakness, and low energy.
- Discounted Vitamin Injections: Receive vitamin injections to support your focus, metabolism, and recovery.
- Additional Exclusive Discounts: We offer additional discounts only for members throughout the year.
- Ongoing Telehealth Support: Experience the ease and comfort of telehealth after your initial appointment. With visits over Zoom or the phone, we help you get access to the care you need on days when you can’t make it in-person.
Our Integrative Approach Treats Systems, Not Just Symptoms
The concierge primary care model works hand-in-hand with our dedication to integrative medicine. Integrative medicine combines the best of Western medicine with evidence-based alternative treatments for a holistic approach to care. By selecting the best from both, we can provide the most effective form of care for each patient.
Our patients experience many benefits from an integrative philosophy of primary care in Reno, including:
- Improved clarity, strength, and confidence after HRT
- Boosted immunity and energy with tailored IV infusions
- Long-term wellness and preventative care from plans designed for your biology
- And so much more!
Who Is Concierge Primary Care For?
Concierge primary care in Reno supports men, women, and children. Whether you want individual or family care, our membership includes unlimited primary care visits, priority scheduling, and so much more.
Women’s Health
For women who want their stories heard and understood, concierge primary care offers the listening ear you’ve been missing. We won’t dismiss your concerns or ignore your symptoms. Instead, we take you seriously and address all facets of your health.
Some of the ways we serve women through our concierge program include:
- Well-Woman Exam: Your annual well-woman exam doesn’t have to be a stressful event. At Alpine Wellness, we give you a thoughtful and thorough exam that includes a full pelvic exam, breast exam, and additional specific screenings tailored to you.
- Fertility Optimization: For infertility concerns and pre-conception planning, we dive deep into your health to better understand your hormonal balances, lifestyle, and emotional wellness. Treatments may include hormone testing, cycle tracking, supplements, and more.
- Hormone Replacement: After comprehensive diagnostics and in-depth conversations, we may suggest hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to address wellness concerns. HRT treatments deliver precise amounts of hormones to bring your body back into balance and reduce the symptoms of hormone deficiencies.
- Sexual Wellness: A vital part of overall wellness, we offer sexual wellness treatments for women. Whether you experienced changes after childbirth, menopause, or simply want to feel more vibrant, we offer several non-surgical treatment options including the O-shot®, GAINSWave®, and feminine rejuvenation.
Men’s Health
We don’t rely on quick prescriptions or protocols for men’s health. We take the time to understand your unique biology through careful, in-depth testing and discussion. Then, we develop a strategy to optimize your strength, energy, and overall health.
Some of the ways we serve men through our concierge program include:
- Annual Physicals: Our integrative approach to physicals means we even pay attention to subtle symptoms, like changes in weight, mood, or sleep, that might indicate deeper issues. That’s why our annual physicals measure hormone levels, habits, nutrition, and more to stay ahead of concerns and regulate whole-body wellness.
- Hormone Replacement: Yes, men can benefit from HRT too! Low testosterone, a thyroid imbalance, or adrenal dysfunction can all impact hormone levels in men of any age. Hormone replacement therapy helps fight symptoms of low energy, low motivation, lack of sleep, and even emotional volatility.
- Sexual Wellness: Feel more confident and comfortable with intimacy through our sexual wellness treatments. For issues such as erectile dysfunction, low libido, and more, we offer treatments such as the P-Shot® and GAINSWave®.
Pediatrics
Our pediatric care treats kids from infancy up to age 21, because we know your child deserves access to the best treatments available. If you’re looking for a compassionate, understanding pediatrician in Reno, our concierge primary care helps your child receive the care they need.
Some of the ways we serve infants, children, and teens include:
- Sports Physicals: For each sports physical in Reno, Alpine Wellness conducts a thorough investigation of your child’s fitness, so they can hit the field or the court with confidence.
- Urgent Care: Don’t wait in line at urgent care anymore. Our concierge primary care provides same-day and next-day urgent appointments. Whether your child spikes a fever, develops a rash, or just isn’t acting like themselves, we prioritize timely responses through our care-coordination team.
- Multiple or Chronic Health Concerns: For families navigating complex or chronic health concerns, we understand the frustrations of feeling overlooked or dismissed by traditional pediatricians. That’s why our team listens to and understands your child’s story—so we can investigate underlying factors and work together to build a clear, manageable plan.
Fill and Refill Your Prescription Right on Our Website
We make filling and refilling your prescription seamless with a prescription refill form on the front page of our website. Make sure you never miss a dose by submitting your requests when you need a refill—our team handles the rest.
Switch to Alpine for Patient-Focused, Proactive, and Personal Care
With conventional primary care models, you can’t predict what kind of care you’ll receive. Some days, you may get lucky and have shorter wait times and satisfactory conversations with your doctor. Other days, your care may be interrupted, your concerns might be put to the side, and your questions can get ignored.
But with concierge primary care in Reno, you can take charge of your health. Our dedication to you, your family, and your overall wellness means you can count on us. With our concierge care, you get treatments that address the root causes of your symptoms and providers who truly care, because they have the capacity for it.
