Doctoring with the Stars: Two Texas Physicians Use Concierge Approach to Treat the Rich and Famous
Where do rock stars, pro athletes, actors and politicians go for their health care? We never seem to see Lady Gaga or Brad Pitt sitting in a crowded, sneezy-cough group clinic waiting room.
The rich and famous, of course, have always had access to private doctors, but many are now taking advantage of a new service called The Concierge Package at Executive Medicine of Texas in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
Physician partners Mark Anderson and Walter Gaman describe Executive Medicine of Texas as “a luxury you can’t afford to live without.”
Celebrities and business barons fly in from all over the world to get first-class personal attention. Staffers at Executive Medicine of Texas arrange airport transportation and security if needed, and the patients are guaranteed complete confidentiality as they are treated to a suite of medical services, from blood biomarker testing to virtual colonoscopies, from nuclear medicine imaging to wellness and lifestyle assessments.
Patients measure their face-time with the doctors not in minutes, but in hours. Most get a half-day for the first full work-up, then follow-up visits and phone access to medical staff 24/7. When was the last time you heard a doctor say, “You can call me any time”? Patients at Executive Medicine of Texas can have their doctor on speed-dial and available whenever needed.
Dr. Anderson and Dr. Gaman won’t reveal the identities of any of their patients, but they say Executive Medicine of Texas isn’t just for celebrities. They see patients from all walks of life, as long as they can afford the fees – which aren’t all that expensive by today’s standards. The Concierge Packages start at $2,500 when added to a physical exam.
“We like people to look young and healthy. We also understand that our patients are their own biggest asset. If their health deteriorates, so does their career” said Judith Gaman, health and wellness expert and part of the Executive Medicine of Texas staff. “Starting with health on the inside and working out means long-term success and a better overall result. We even work with a world-renowned nutritionist, cosmetic surgeon and dentist to give inside/out makeovers. Lasting results – that’s what matters.”
Dr. Anderson and Dr. Gaman were both honored as “Best Doctors in Texas 2010” by Newsweek Magazine. They, along with Judith Gaman, co-host “The Staying Young” radio show, which airs Sunday mornings on three Texas radio stations and streams internationally. They have also co-authored two books, Executive Medicine: Optimizing Your Chances for a Longer Life and Stay Young: 10 Proven Steps to Ultimate Health (George House Publishing, 2010).
