Is this a concierge practice?

No, Elderflower is not a concierge practice. Both direct primary care and concierge care aim to improve the quality of patient care by having smaller patient panels and more time for face-to-face care. Direct primary care has a flat monthly membership much like the health investment in your local gym and aims to be more accessible for the populations it serves. Concierge medicine often has larger annual retainer fees for 24/7 access to the provider and more specialized services. Direct primary care does not take insurance. Concierge medicine sometimes takes insurance in addition to the membership.

Why a Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

What started off as a small grass roots movement, is now a model to deliver patient care across the country. DPC healthcare is supportive and beneficial to the patient while also being a sustainable system for the providers who want to give better, higher quality care.

Why a Micro Practice?

By having a one-room office, overhead is less and even more sustainable for one-on-one care. This model allows for even smaller patient panels meaning more time with patients while also allowing for the hours of work that occurs behind the scenes of patient care.

Patients are encouraged to text and email for questions and refills as the provider will often be with a patient and not answering the phone immediately during business hours.

What is a Nurse Practitioner?

A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse who underwent additional training and graduate schooling to prescribe, order/interpret diagnostics, send referrals, and treat chronic conditions.

Nurse practitioners choose specialty tracks which involve education and clinical training in a particular field of medicine. My specialty track was adult-geriatric medicine in the primary care setting.

In New Mexico, nurse practitioners can open their own practices, and are independent of medical doctors (MDs).

Do I Still Need Health Insurance?

Insurance will not be billed for our face-to-face time. Insurance is still recommended for medications, diagnostics, physical therapy or the event of hospitalization. The membership covers what traditional insurance at this time cannot provide appropriate- visit lengths, smaller panels, and the provider's ability to answer your texts during the day. 

Why Does the Office Not Look Like a Normal Medical Office?

I started delivering healthcare in patients’ homes and have continued healthcare in the home for most of my career. I've been trained to perform physical exams no matter where the patient is, whether it's their wheelchair, their bed, or at their kitchen table.  Where patients are most comfortable and truly feel safe is where I want to meet them. The office thoughtfully feels more like home to reduce white coat syndrome and to help bring ease to every interaction.

Why is it important to receive care from a provider that specializes in geriatrics care? 

It can make a meaningful difference. Experienced geriatric providers see your healthcare differently. Medications are managed and prescribed with more attention, follow ups become more frequent, and the healthcare goals of care drastically change. We do our best to keep patients out of the hospital, to age in place (stay active in your home and community), and reduce unnecessary medications or procedures that cause more issues.

Geriatrics looks at the whole patient and places an emphasis on shared decision-making and quality of life. This holistic care builds stronger relationships between the provider and patient as well as their family. 

Who is Elderflower Primary Care?

The patients, their families, myself, and the community.

I’m the sole provider at Elderflower Primary Care because I regard the quality of patient care a soul service.
