Who benefits from Shared Medical Appointments?
Group visits are especially beneficial for patients who need the following care:
- Patients needing routine follow up care maybe due to chronic conditions
- Patients seeking more information regarding their specific health issues
- Patients who require mind and body care; these are typically patients who require additional time with their physician
Shared medical appointments are not appropriate for every patient. For example this program is not designed to:
- Replace your regular individual visits with your physician
- Be used as a 1 time consultation
- Treat urgent medical concerns that should be addressed by a specialist immediately
- Diagnose and treat complex medical care
