How Concierge Urology Services Transform Out-of-Town Care
You choose where you live for many reasons — family, schools, work, etc. Unfortunately, many areas can check these boxes, but not necessarily the medical ones. And your health is one thing you don’t want to leave to chance.
As a sought-after men’s health care specialist, board-certified urologist Robert J. Cornell understands how important it is to have confidence in the team that’s overseeing your health. So, to facilitate access to his practice's top-notch care, Dr. Cornell and the team offer concierge services for out-of-towners.
In the following, we review a few of the key services we provide under our concierge care.
Who can benefit from out-of-town urology care
There are several reasons why patients seek Dr. Cornell’s expert care. For example, there are more than 330,000 prostate cancer diagnoses each year in the United States. Dr. Cornell is a leading practitioner in this field, so you’re in great hands under his care. Whether you want to join the 90,000 men who undergo a prostatectomy each year or you’re pursuing another treatment avenue, Dr. Cornell doesn’t let location become a hurdle to your prostate care.
And this applies to other services, such as penile implants, vasectomy, cosmetic urology, kidney stones, and more.
Meeting remotely
To get started, Dr. Cornell makes himself available for a remote check-in to save you from traveling back and forth. During this telehealth evaluation, Dr. Cornell reviews your medical history and your goals and then he works with you on an appropriate timeline and plan moving forward.
Help with travel planning
Once you and Dr. Cornell understand next steps, our team can help with all of your travel planning, including:
- Hotel reservations
- Transportation between the hotel and airport
- Transportation to the hospital
Our goal is to ease your medical journey so you can concentrate on your health.
Insurance help
Our team also works with your insurance company for pre-authorization so you understand what’s covered and which expenses will be out-of-pocket.
Aftercare
Once we complete your treatment and you return home, we still feel that you’re under our care and we’re available to you. Using telehealth, Dr. Cornell can check in with you to evaluate your progress and he can also provide prescriptions and guidance as you move forward.
The bottom line is that we understand how stressful it can be to navigate your healthcare. Our concierge services are designed to take some of the stress out of the process. Not only do we make our care available to out-of-towners, but we also help with all of those little details so you can focus on your health and recovery.
If you have more questions about our concierge services and urology care for out-of-towners, we invite you to contact our Houston office today to schedule a consultation.
