This is not a concierge practice. There is no annual fee or membership fee charged. Patients are charged based on physician time spent on your case. We do not have after hours, weekend or vacation coverage. There are, however, some “concierge like” features to this practice:

• No waiting in the office. Appointments are spaced out such that the start time of your appointment is the time when you will be seen by the doctor.
• Easy access to Dr. Goldberg during the week.
• This practice offers personalized wellness and prevention focused medical care from a seasoned Internal Medicine Physician experienced in Integrative, Environmental and Functional Medicine.
• Advanced testing is routinely used as part of the approach. Some of the testing, such as advanced lipid panels, inflammatory markers and insulin resistance/diabetes risk screening panels is often covered by most commercial insurance carriers and Medicare.
• Initial visits are 60 minutes long and a comprehensive history and physical is performed.
