Appointments are never rushed or hurried, so you don’t have to hold back when asking questions, and Dr. Graf can take his time with a thorough evaluation.
With a limited number of concierge Members, Dr. Graf is also able to ensure easy appointment scheduling and the opportunity for same-day or next-day appointments for urgent medical concerns. This reduces the possibility of your condition worsening as a result of delayed care, which can happen as you await an appointment that’s days, weeks, or even months away.
