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.
