Why House Calls?
Convenience
A physician visit to the home or office can minimize time away from work for busy professionals. Evening and weekend hours add to this convenience
Comfort
Receive care in the comfort of your home, which is ideal for those who are averse to visiting medical facilities
Personalized Care
Dr. Miguel will have more time to spend with each patient, allowing for more thorough and personalized care tailored to your needs. You can request an in-depth evaluation and research of your case
Palliative and End-of-Life Care
Patients receiving palliative care or those at the end of life often prefer to remain at home, where they are most comfortable, surrounded by family. Dr. Miguel can provide an extra layer of care and interface with corporate hospice entities by ensuring your loved one has a physician advocate.
Avoidance of hospitalization
For some conditions, receiving timely and appropriate care at home can prevent the need for hospitalization, reducing both the physical and financial burdens associated with hospital stays.
Homebound Patients
Homebound patients whereby traveling to a clinic is overly burdensome
Visitors
Visitors from out-of-town can quickly establish care and receive timely care in the absence of having established relationships with physicians
Reduced Exposure to Illness
Avoiding crowding clinical settings can reduce exposure risk, especially for those with weakened immune systems.
Privacy
Some individuals may prefer the privacy of their home for medical consultations, especially for sensitive or personal health issues.
Luxury and Exclusivity
Luxury and Exclusivity: Some individuals may prefer the exclusivity and personalized service of a house call physician as part of a luxury lifestyle.
Flexibility
Flexibility: House call physicians often offer more flexible scheduling options, accommodating the patient's availability and reducing the need to take time off work or other commitments.
Backup Care
Have a backup physician in case your primary care doctor is unavailable
Collaborative Care
Dr. Miguel can provide a hands on examination and relay his findings/recommendations to your PCP when an office visit isn’t feasible or practical
Post-Surgical Care
Patients recovering from surgery may prefer house calls for follow-up visits to avoid the discomfort and risk of traveling while healing.
Continuity of Care
House call physicians can observe the patient's living environment and family dynamics, providing insights that can lead to better overall care and health outcomes. Dr. Miguel can also ensure patients being discharged from the hospital have appropriate observation and treatment plans when transitioning back home to prevent readmission or complications
Cost Efficiency
Fee-for-service house calls can sometimes be more cost-effective than concierge medicine memberships, especially when considering the overall quality and time spent with the physician.
