Dr. Eells comments later that the most rewarding part of his practice is working with his patients personally, creating individual health plans, tracking progress, and visually seeing plans come to life. By limiting patient load, it allows him to spend more than enough time with each patient. And not just spending time addressing their health issues, but having 24/7 doctor availability so his patients feel comfortable and in the hands of a professional.

"The Twice-a-Year Plan: Why Every Patient Should See the Doctor Twice Per Year"
According to him, a personalized medicine practitioner in the Las Vegas area, people should see a doctor at least twice a year in order to maintain good health. While many people subscribe to the once-a-year physical, in reality seeing the doctor twice in a year may be a better plan.
When patients see a doctor twice a year, there is a far greater chance that the doctor will be able to diagnose and treat ongoing illnesses effectively. For example, if a patient has a low thyroid issue, it is very important to closely monitor TSH levels and other blood counts and make adjustments to medication as necessary. The incorrect levels of medication given to a thyroid patient can result in poor outcomes and unnecessary suffering. When all that is necessary to correct the problem is for the patient to be seen more often and have his or her blood tested on a regular basis, it is silly to opt for the "once-a-year" approach.
Additionally, seeing the doctor twice a year gives him or her a chance to build a more personal relationship with the patient. Doctors, just like others, build stronger relationships with people they see more often. Therefore, visiting the doctor twice a year helps him or her to learn more about the patient's particular needs and to individualize the care that the patient receives.
When doctors and patients work together, the outcomes are usually much better than if the patient does not comply with a doctor's orders. By seeing the doctor more often, it is very likely that the patient will receive better feedback and will be able to more closely comply with what the doctor recommends. Further, the twice-a-year schedule allows the doctor a better opportunity to determine if the patient needs adjustments to his or her wellness plan by determining how effective the current plan is.
Finally, seeing patients twice a year makes it twice as likely that a doctor will spot a problem early when it may still be treatable. The successful treatment rate for cancer, for example, skyrockets when it is caught early. Patients who are given treatment for cancer at the very early stages have a much better success rate, live longer and have fewer long-term effects from treatment than those in whom cancer appears and who ignore the symptoms.
Overall, there are many reasons to see a doctor on a twice-yearly basis. By choosing concierge care or personalized medical care, patients are able to utilize this benefit much more effectively. Doctors and patients have a better chance to get to know each other and patients are able to see their doctors on a much more current and regular basis than with other primary care physicians. This may help doctors to become better acquainted with patients and to offer them more personalized and more effective medical care than under other types of healthcare systems or schedules.
