In today’s consumer oriented healthcare system there is no more "one size fits all." In fact, the pressures to customize around the needs and desires of our patients have never been greater. Concierge medicine is the ultimate expression of segmentation and focus. In a world where we must think of an "N of one" versus an "N of many," and must find ways to capitalize on the opportunities afforded by our uniqueness, this model is critical to our success. Jim Hinton, CEO, Baylor Scott & White HealthIn a time of constant change, the healthcare industry needs more leaders like Dr. Winter.

When Dr. Winter talks doctors should listen.Nathan S. Kaufman, Managing Director, Kaufman Strategic Advisors, LLC"Service Extraordinaire" will be of great interest to patients and physicians who are dissatisfied with the way they are currently receiving or providing medical care. Dr. David Winter is well qualified to explain how concierge medicine might, or might not, meet the needs of such patients or physicians. His insight is based on being the medical director of 1,300 medical providers, and by his experience as a practicing concierge physician for many years. As defined by Dr. Winter, the main attraction of concierge medicine to both patient and physician is based on a retainer fee that allows immediate physician access to patients in an unrushed manner. There is a strong emphasis on maintenance of good health through proper lifestyle. However, this book also makes it clear that another important factor in concierge medicine is that the doctor has sound medical judgment and deep and sustained knowledge of all aspects of internal medicine, so that medical illnesses are promptly diagnosed and appropriately treated, both in an office setting and in high intensity hospital settings. Unfortunately, it is difficult for patients to obtain an accurate measure of a doctor’s sustained clinical knowledge and medical judgment.John S.
