The Time You Need, the Holistic Care You Deserve
Hirsch
Holistic Family Medcine is modeled after a growing trend of solo
private practitioners that are attempting to recapture traditional
values of the doctor patient relationship in our ailing medical system.
Most medical practices stay financially viable by trying to see as many
patients as possible as efficiently as possible. They employ many
people to assist the physician to absorb the office workload so the
physician can focus on seeing patients. Typical physician schedules
allow 10 to 15 minutes of actual physician time per visit. While this
model of medical practice may thrive financially, it does so at a very
high price. Practice overhead costs sometimes reach greater than 70% of
practice income. Patients are often dissatisfied with the quality of
care they receive. Doctors are often frustrated with the restrictions
this model puts on the doctor-patient relationship.
Hirsch
Holistic Family Medicine is a practice designed to enhance the
doctor-patient relationship by providing personalized, hands on,
accessible health care, within the parameters of the current medical
system. This is accomplished by a drastic reduction in practice
overhead costs. By utilizing readily available technologies through the
internet, an electronic medical record (EMR), and a small
patient panel, Hirsch Holistic Family Medicine is
able to simplify the office tasks that traditionally would require
multiple employees.
