Many people today feel that healthcare has become too rushed, too impersonal, and too difficult to navigate. Long waits, short visits, and limited access leave patients wanting a more meaningful relationship with their doctor. Concierge medicine was created to change that experience. Concierge medicine is a membership-based model of primary care that provides patients with direct access to their physician, longer appointments, and highly personalized care.
This model of care focuses on time, access, and personal connection. Instead of large patient panels and brief appointments, physicians limit their practice size and offer direct communication through phone, text, or secure messaging. Patients experience a more personalized and proactive approach to managing their health, feeling seen, heard, and supported at every step.
Comprehensive Concierge Health and Wellness Services
As a board-certified internal medicine physician, Dr. Navon delivers full-spectrum primary care through a membership model centered on accessibility and prevention. Your care includes annual physicals, next-day appointments for urgent issues, chronic disease management, and personalized strategies shaped around your goals and daily routine.
For added convenience, visits may take place in person or through telehealth/video when appropriate.
When specialty input becomes part of your plan, Dr. Navon works closely with Northwestern physicians to coordinate evaluations, testing, and treatments. You receive streamlined communication and a physician who follows the entire process, creating continuity and clarity from start to finish.
What Concierge Medicine Really Means
Concierge medicine is a model of primary care built around time, accessibility, and personal attention. Physicians limit their patient panels to provide more meaningful and consistent care. Patients benefit from longer appointments, direct communication, and an ongoing relationship with a physician who genuinely knows their history and health goals.
Members pay an annual or monthly fee that supports enhanced access and a more personalized experience. The structure allows physicians to focus on prevention, wellness, and long-term planning rather than rushing from one brief encounter to the next. For many people, concierge medicine offers a trusted partnership and a clearer, more organized healthcare experience.
In cities like Chicago and other metropolitan areas, this model appeals to individuals seeking reliable access, continuity, and deeper physician engagement.
How the Concierge Medicine Model Works
Membership-Based Care & Predictable Pricing
Patients pay an annual or monthly membership fee that includes ongoing primary care and enhanced access. Instead of billing per visit, the focus shifts to prevention, communication, and availability.
This model also provides predictable, transparent pricing, offering a welcome alternative to the unpredictability of traditional co-pays, deductibles, and visit-based charges.
Direct Access to Your Physician
Members of TruCare Concierge can reach their physician, Dr. Gabrielle Navon, directly by phone, text, or secure messaging. Next-day appointments are typically available for urgent concerns. This access helps address issues quickly and supports better continuity between visits.
Smaller Patient Panel, More Time Together
Because Dr. Navon cares for a limited number of patients, she can devote more time to each individual. Longer appointments, regular check-ins, and detailed discussions replace the rushed pace of traditional care.
A Proactive, Relationship-Focused Model
The structure supports early intervention, thoughtful planning, and ongoing communication. Patients experience care that feels calm, organized, and genuinely personal.
Concierge Medicine vs. Traditional Healthcare: Key Differences
Concierge Medicine
In concierge practices like TruCare Concierge, care is built around time, access, and meaningful communication. Patients can reach Dr. Navon directly and schedule appointments without long waits. Visits are longer and more comprehensive, allowing space for in-depth conversations, personalized guidance, and proactive planning. A smaller patient panel enables the physician to stay closely involved in each person’s ongoing health.
Traditional Medicine
In the conventional system, physicians manage large patient volumes and must move quickly through each appointment. Visits may feel brief, and it is often difficult to see the same physician consistently. Limited availability and administrative barriers can leave people feeling rushed or disconnected from their care.

People often find value in:
- Stronger physician relationships built on time and genuine conversation
- Peace of mind knowing their doctor is easily accessible when concerns arise
- Comprehensive attention to prevention, lifestyle, and long-term wellness
- Streamlined coordination with specialists or diagnostic testing

Common Questions About Concierge Medicine
Does Concierge Medicine Work With Insurance?
Concierge medicine operates outside traditional insurance billing for primary care services. Patients still use insurance for hospitals, specialists, labs, and imaging. The membership fee supports enhanced primary care, including longer visits, direct communication, and ongoing wellness management.
Because insurance is still used for specialists, hospital care, labs, and imaging, most members keep their existing health insurance while using concierge care for a more personal, relationship-based primary care experience.
Who is Concierge Medicine Best For?
Concierge medicine is especially helpful for:
- Professionals with demanding schedules
- Adults managing chronic conditions
