… Concierge Medicine … puts forward the journey of one physician from frustrated practitioner to, dare I say it, joyful professional. And challenges patients to question and examine what they are getting for their or their employer’s money under the traditional insurance-based healthcare practice model. I daresay the book will frustrate the critics of concierge medicine, but that is what is so great about freedom of ideas and speech. At least one MD in the USA is a happy practitioner!”

“Dr. Steve Knope is a brilliant internist and health promotion guru. How do I know? Well, he’s my concierge physician! And ‘well’ it is, because Dr. Knope intersperses a personalized diet and physical activity routine into all of his patients’ visits. He is extremely knowledgeable when it comes to enhancing traditional medicine with alternative, health promotion approaches. I call him ‘The Answer’—i.e. the answer to our dysfunctional, impersonal healthcare system.”

“Concierge Medicine returns physicians to their original calling—the needs of the patient. Primary care physicians are changing the health care model by working for their patients, not the insurers or the government. Access to quality care at an affordable price—what a simple solution.”
