Savannah Pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander on how concierge pediatric care can help keep your child healthy in 2023

Below is a guest post by Savannah pediatrician Dr. Kelsey Alexander @ Coastal Care Partners’ new Concierge Pediatric Clinic 

A new year is upon us!

Though the first few weeks of a new year offer an excellent opportunity for a fresh start, the time is always right to make healthier choices for you and your family. If you’re looking to prioritize your kids’ overall health this year and in the years to come, pediatric concierge care may be the right choice for you. Here are just some of the many benefits you’ll enjoy as a member of Dr. Alexander’s practice. 

1. Ease of Scheduling Appointments
   With other pediatric practices, parents have to call first thing in the morning in order to even attempt to make a same-day appointment. If they’re lucky enough to be seen that day, they’re often placed with a random provider who has never even met their child. At our practice, we take the stress out of scheduling and work around YOUR schedule, and you are guaranteed to see Sam (our amazing NP) or Dr. Alexander every visit! 
2. Direct Access to Your Pediatrician
   Do you sometimes feel like you’ve spent half the day simply trying to get in touch with your doctor’s office? With our practice, you can text or call your pediatrician directly to ask questions and avoid unnecessary visits — saving you time and money! In typical practices, parents are told they must schedule an appointment for any concerns. With concierge pediatric care, you can send a photo or video of your child directly to Dr. Alexander through a HIPAA-compliant messaging system, and you’ll often be able to start treatment at home. 
3. After-Hours Access to Dr. Alexander
   Sometimes you don’t notice that your child isn’t feeling well until you get home from work and the doctor’s office has already closed. No need to worry! You can text Dr. Alexander through the Spruce messaging app and hear back right away, helping to give you peace of mind. If you need to schedule a sick visit for the next day, you can do so online, day or night. By having after hours access, we can often keep you out of urgent cares or emergency rooms so that your child’s care is consistently with your PCP, improving quality of care and saving you money.
4. Increased Quality of Care
   Do you often feel rushed when you visit your child’s pediatrician, or that you spend the majority of your visit in the waiting room? At our practice, we don’t overbook our schedules. This allows patients to be seen as soon as they walk in for their appointment, removing any need for a waiting room at all! Even more importantly, this allows our team to spend ample time (usually 30 minutes to an hour) with each and every one of our patients, ensuring our patients and their parents leave our practice with all of their questions answered and concerns addressed. 

These are just a few of the many benefits of joining Dr. Alexander’s concierge pediatric care practice! Not only will these services help save you valuable time and money, but they will also offer peace of mind that your child’s health is always in the best hands. If you’re interested in learning more about whether concierge pediatric care is right for your child, schedule a free consultation with Dr. Alexander to learn more about her practice and how it can benefit you.
