Seven-minute medical visits dominate traditional healthcare, leaving patients hurriedly explaining symptoms while physicians type notes, their eyes glued to screens rather than making eye contact. This approach leaves many people feeling unheard as their health concerns are reduced to quick diagnoses and prescriptions.
Many patients experience this assembly-line medicine for years, bouncing between specialists who each examine one body system without seeing how everything connects. Someone might see a gastroenterologist for digestive issues, an endocrinologist for hormone imbalances, and a psychiatrist for anxiety — with no one connecting these potentially related conditions. But at Premier Solutions & Weight Loss, our healthcare providers do things differently.
The Integrated Alternative
Direct primary care and concierge medicine break free from volume-based constraints, allowing doctors to see fewer patients daily and bringing back the art of listening. This results in longer appointments and creates space for thorough conversations about all aspects of health.
Physicians who practice this way build relationships with patients, understand their life circumstances, and consider how factors like stress, sleep, nutrition, and movement affect overall well-being.
The Whole-Person Approach
Extended appointments enable truly integrated care. When doctors have time to understand all aspects of a patient’s health journey, they can create cohesive treatment plans addressing underlying causes rather than isolated symptoms.
At Premier Solutions & Weight Loss, we combine primary care, urgent care, and wellness services under one roof. This model helps patients avoid the frustration of explaining their health history repeatedly to different providers who rarely communicate with each other.
The Premier Solutions Difference
We recently welcomed two nurse practitioners committed to patient-centered care. Alexia works in the clinic and med spa, providing continuity for patients seeking primary care or wellness services. She helps patients experience smooth transitions between different aspects of their health management.
Osmel specializes in evening and weekend urgent care, ensuring patients receive consistent care even outside of standard hours. He collaborates with the rest of the team, making referrals to address underlying health issues rather than simply treating immediate symptoms.
