Inspired by local physicians who were among the nation’s first to adopt the concierge medicine model, Northern Virginia is now a hub for its surging popularity. These leading concierge physicians are redefining the patient experience with same-day appointments, unhurried visits, and deeply personalized care:
When Priya Mathur, MD, left a large medical group to join NOVAMED Associates, she noticed the difference immediately. “Now I can fully listen to patients who often don’t feel heard by busy doctors,” she says, “and delve into lifestyle habits that may be at the root of a patient’s sickness. Having the time to know each patient as a person is the true gift of concierge medicine.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
At Prima Medicine, Chethana Rao, MD, and Mandana Shafai, MD, share a passion for blending traditional medicine with functional and integrative health models to achieve optimal well-being. Dr. Rao says: “Evidence-based, prescriptive lifestyle changes can treat and often reverse the most common chronic illnesses.” Dr. Shafai’s focus on preventive care, nutrition, weight management and hormone balancing is “very personalized and empowering for patients who want to be actively involved in their care,” she says.
