Concierge Medicine

The Dawn of High-Quality Healthcare

In 1997, Gary M. Price, MD, FACP, created the first concierge (direct) medical practice in Florida, and the second one in the United States. His pioneering concept was to elevate the quality of healthcare to new heights for his patients. It was a resounding success. Dr. David L. West joined the practice in 2006, followed by Dr. Andy Oakes-Lottridge in 2013, Dr. Raymond J. Carrelle, Jr. in 2019, Dr. Christine Orlowicz in 2022 and most recently, Stephen Raben in 2024.

Their shared mission is to provide state-of-the-art concierge primary care in a personalized, punctual, unhurried and respectful manner. The doctors are committed to practicing medicine the old-fashioned way – even making house calls when needed – devoted to serving their patients and providing the best healthcare possible without compromises or excuses. To that end, they have severed all financial relationships with insurance companies and government agencies. They accept payment only from their patients. This ensures that they work only for you, without any conflict of interests.

Concierge healthcare is also more affordable than you think. It includes concierge primary care, nutritional counseling, women’s health, geriatric medicine and a host of physician concierge services aimed at giving you the high-quality, comprehensive healthcare you deserve and leading you to a life of wellness – concierge wellness.
