Whether concierge care is right for you is a personal decision \u2014 and at our practice it is always optional. You never need a membership to receive excellent primary care here.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the most common questions we hear at Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness in Dallas is a simple one: <em>&#8220;Do you take my insurance, or is this a concierge practice?&#8221;<\/em> The answer is both. We are a <strong>hybrid practice<\/strong> \u2014 we welcome Medicare, most insurance, and self-pay patients for comprehensive primary care, and we <em>also<\/em> offer an <strong>optional concierge membership<\/strong> for patients who want more time and access. This page explains how that works, so you can choose what fits your life.<\/p>\n<h2>What is concierge medicine?<\/h2>\n<p>Concierge medicine is a model in which patients pay a membership fee for an enhanced level of access and attention from their physician. In a traditional busy practice, a doctor may care for thousands of patients; a concierge panel is intentionally smaller, which allows for longer visits, easier scheduling, and more direct communication. It is not a different <em>quality<\/em> of medicine \u2014 it is a different level of <em>access<\/em> to the same physician-led care.<\/p>\n<h2>You don&#8217;t have to choose: Lakewood is a hybrid practice<\/h2>\n<p>Here is what matters most: at Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness, concierge membership is an <strong>option, not a requirement<\/strong>. The majority of our patients see Dr. Rajan Kohli using their Medicare or commercial insurance, exactly as they would at any primary care office. We are <strong>accepting new patients<\/strong>, and we are happy to be your everyday medical home whether or not you ever choose a membership. The concierge program simply exists alongside our standard care for those who want it.<\/p>\n<h2>What the optional concierge membership offers<\/h2>\n<p>For members, our concierge program is designed around <strong>time and access<\/strong> \u2014 the two things patients tell us they value most. Depending on the plan, membership can include longer, unhurried appointments, priority scheduling, more direct communication with the practice, and a care experience built around prevention, wellness, and long-term health optimization. Because Dr. Kohli brings an A4M fellowship in functional, integrative, and regenerative medicine, concierge members often use that relationship for a more proactive, whole-person approach to their health.<\/p>\n<p>Membership terms and what&#8217;s included are best discussed directly, since the right fit depends on your goals. We&#8217;re glad to walk you through the details with no pressure.<\/p>\n<h2>Who tends to consider concierge care?<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s no single &#8220;right&#8221; patient. That said, people who ask us about the concierge option are often busy professionals who want appointments that fit their schedule, patients managing several health concerns who want more of their doctor&#8217;s time, and people focused on prevention, longevity, and feeling their best rather than only treating problems as they arise. Just as often, patients decide standard insurance-based care is exactly what they need \u2014 and that&#8217;s completely welcome here, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Serving Dallas and greater DFW<\/h2>\n<p>We care for patients across Lakewood, East Dallas, Lake Highlands, Preston Hollow, Highland Park, University Park, Uptown, and the broader Dallas\u2013Fort Worth area \u2014 on insurance, on Medicare, and through our optional concierge program. Whatever path you choose, you&#8217;re seeing the same physician-led team in the same practice.<\/p>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Is Lakewood Primary Care a concierge practice or an insurance-based practice?<\/strong><br \/>\nBoth \u2014 it&#8217;s a hybrid practice. We accept Medicare and most insurance for standard primary care, and we offer an optional concierge membership for patients who want enhanced access, longer visits, and more direct communication.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do I have to join concierge to become a patient?<\/strong><br \/>\nNo. Concierge membership is completely optional. We are accepting new patients on Medicare and most insurance, and you never need a membership to receive care with us.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you accept Medicare?<\/strong><br \/>\nYes. We welcome Medicare patients and are accepting new ones. You can use your Medicare coverage for primary care whether or not you ever choose the concierge option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What does concierge membership include?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe program is built around time and access \u2014 typically longer appointments, priority scheduling, and more direct communication with Dr. Kohli, with an emphasis on prevention and long-term health. Specific terms are best reviewed directly, since the right plan depends on your goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do I learn more or sign up?<\/strong><br \/>\nJust reach out. We&#8217;ll explain how our standard insurance-based care and the optional concierge membership compare, and help you choose what fits \u2014 with no pressure either way.<\/p>\n<h2>Find the option that fits you<\/h2>\n<p>Whether you want straightforward primary care on your insurance or Medicare, or a more personal concierge relationship with your physician, Lakewood Primary Care and Wellness has a place for you.
