Terms & Conditions
Concierge Care
Concierge Care is simply a new name for an old concept: a physician-patient relationship based on mutual respect and trust, built over time. Our concept is to deliver healthcare the way it use to be, in home or hospital, and meeting each patient where they are at - whether the beginning or the end - and holding them in a balanced, healing space - until they are read to move forward on their own.

TESTIMONIALS
In accordance with the FTC guidelines concerning use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising, please be aware of the following:
Testimonials appearing on this site are collected or recorded via survey text submission, email text, interview or professionally produced videos based on patients’ actual treatment outcomes. We do not claim that they are typical results that patients will generally achieve, and outcomes may vary based on each individual patient. The testimonials are not necessarily representative of all individuals who will be a patient at a TCM Concierge.

Interview answers are not scripted and are based on the patients’ actual experiences. Some testimonials have been shortened, so that the whole message received by the testimonial is not displayed or viewed on the videos. This is done only when a testimonial is lengthy, or if the entire testimonial did not seem relevant for the general public. The patients giving the testimonials may have been given free or discounted treatments for the use of sharing their experience. Patients should consult their physician if they are under treatment for a specific condition prior to starting any new treatment protocol.
