Getting Support from Your Banner Executive Health and Wellness Primary Care Physician and Care Team

What if I have a lot of questions during my appointment with my Banner Executive Health and Wellness physician?

Concierge Medicine at Banner Executive Health and Wellness was designed to provide a more relaxed, customized health experience by limiting the number of members in the program. You will have all the time you need to ask questions and discuss available treatment options- not just medications- for any medical condition you may have. Your Banner Executive Health and Wellness physician will have that extra time to spend with you and be available via call or text for questions that may surface after or in-between appointments.   

What happens if I need to see a specialist?

After an evaluation by your Banner Executive Health and Wellness physician, a referral to a medical specialist may be needed. In such situations, your Banner Executive Health and Wellness physician will work with you to find the best specialist to meet your unique needs. Your clinical needs, urgency of the medical issue, and personal preferences (proximity to home, physician gender, etc.) will be discussed to find the right specialist to address your illness or condition. Your Banner Executive Health and Wellness physician may contact the specialist to discuss your medical needs and goals. Finally, your Banner Executive Health and Wellness care team will coordinate your referral and appointment by contacting the specialist and ensuring you have all the information you need to have an exceptional visit.   

May I continue to use my current primary care provider?

As a member of Concierge Medicine at Banner  Executive Health and Wellness, your primary care will be supported exclusively by our primary care physicians to ensure continuity of care, 24/7 communication to your physician, and optimization of your Banner Executive Health and Wellness benefits.
