Concierge medicine is a unique care model that forgoes the traditional schedule of annual doctor’s visits. While not covered by insurance, this model is favorable for patients seeking more hands-on care with added doctor-patient face time. With concierge medicine at Arizona Institute of Integrative Medicine, patients will subscribe to a concierge plan that covers unlimited monthly visits to the office as well as a direct line to Dr. Horzempa for quick questions and updates. This can be particularly beneficial for patients managing chronic illnesses or seeking help with specific health goals, such as anti-aging care.

Functional medicine and integrative medicine are terms often used interchangeably. They do describe similar treatment modalities in which the patient is treated as a whole rather than a set of symptoms. Integrative medicine utilizes a holistic approach to address health problems as they exist in the body. Symptoms don’t exist in isolation, so they should be diagnosed with consideration to a patient’s health history. Functional medicine goes a step further by seeking to identify the root cause of symptoms.
