Concierge medicine, retainer medicine, direct medicine, and boutique medicine are all terms used to describe a new form of medical service in which patients contract directly with their doctor for medical services. By removing the third-party payer, your physician acts as your advocate, with no interference or conflict of interest from outside parties.
Internist Steven D. Knope, M.D., a pioneer in creating patient-centered care for optimal health and wellness, is the first physician to offer this comprehensive, personal approach in Tucson.
For one annual fee, Dr. Knope provides:
- Exercise and fitness consultation, including a lactate stress test, nutritional analysis and an exercise prescription tailored to your specific health and fitness goals.
- 24/7 telephone access via cell phone or beeper wherever you are.
- Same-day service for any medical problem that requires evaluation by Dr. Knope.

- All blood work is drawn in our office and sent to the lab.
