Highly respected internist Chethana Rao, MD now offers a concierge medicine option at her Fairfax-based practice. The difference is evident at every point of care, with direct, after-hours availability to Dr. Rao, same-day appointments when needed, and extended visits with little to no waiting time.
“My concierge practice is limited in size, which allows me to go well beyond the traditional emphasis on treating disease,” explains Dr. Rao. “Evidence-based, prescriptive lifestyle changes can treat and often reverse the most common chronic conditions, but the typical 10-minute appointment leaves no time to address anything except the most acute issues. The concierge model enables me to explore the roots of a patient’s condition, understand them as individuals and make a real change in their health trajectory by preventing illness from the start.”
Patients appreciatively note the difference. “You have inspired us to take a more active role in our health and wellness, and we are already seeing the positive results of this approach,” writes A & P. “Dr Rao is the best primary care doctor I’ve ever had. She is so knowledgeable, answers all my questions without rushing…treats me as if I’m her own mother,” writes another.
Board-certified in internal and lifestyle medicine, Dr. Rao has been recognized multiple times as a “Top Doctor” over more than two decades in practice. She is now accepting a limited number of new patients at Prima Medicine Concierge Care, 3903 Fair Ridge Drive, Fairfax. Call 703-219-8148 for more information or to schedule a meet & greet.
