Introducing UT Health Concierge Medicine
UT Health San Antonio is proud to announce the launch of Concierge Medicine, directed by leading physicians David Cadena, MD, CCMS, FAAP and Arlene Reyes, MD, from UT Health Hill Country. The new program provides an elevated level of patient-centered personalized primary care, focusing on convenience, continuity and comprehensive health management.
The Concierge Medicine program offers a unique approach to traditional patient care, providing 24/7 access to primary care physicians. An approach that fosters stronger, more personal relationships between patients and physicians, ensuring continuous, high-quality care. "For UT Health San Antonio, this program not only enhances patient satisfaction but also strengthens our ability to innovate and deliver exceptional care," says Ramon Cancino, MD, MBA, MS, FAAFP, Executive Director of the Primary Care Center.
The Benefits of Concierge Medicine
When patients join the Concierge Medicine program, they become members with direct access to Dr. Cadena and Dr. Reyes. A membership that provides 24/7 communication, even on weekends and holidays and personalized care tailored to each patient's needs. The program offers extended visits, same-day or next-day appointments and a deeply collaborative approach to health care. By working closely with their physicians, members can ensure their medical history, lifestyle and health goals are fully understood and considered in every aspect of care.
"Concierge medicine offers unmatched access to personalized health care, enabling patients to receive comprehensive care specifically designed for their individual needs," says Dr. Cadena. "This approach encourages proactive, preventive care and offers peace of mind knowing that your primary care physician is always available when needed most."
A Commitment to Personalized Care
UT Health San Antonio is committed to transforming the health care experience through the Concierge Medicine program. By offering unique access to dedicated physicians, we place members at the center of their health management journey, a model that allows for truly personalized care, ensuring that each patient receives the attention and support necessary to achieve their health goals.
Concierge Medicine offers physicians a unique opportunity to focus entirely on their patients, prioritizing the physician-patient relationship above all else. Dr. Arlene Reyes explains, "Our model enables us to engage in meaningful conversations about physical and emotional health. We carefully consider every aspect of a patient's lifestyle, medical history and wellness goals. The relationship we develop with our patients allows us to customize care plans as individual as each patient, rather than applying one-size-fits-all solutions."
The flexibility of concierge care allows for timely and proactive responses to patient needs. Whether it's same-day appointments, direct access via phone or email, or coordination of specialized care, our physicians are always available to support their patients. This level of accessibility ensures that patients are never left to navigate complex health issues on their own and that their care is consistently coordinated, comprehensive and centered on their well-being.
