A clear, honest guide to building a concierge or membership-based practice that is sustainable, relationship-driven, and worth the career you worked for.
You didn't go to medical school to feel this way.
Rushed visits. Shrinking reimbursements. Less time with patients. More time on paperwork. If you've started wondering whether there's a better way to practice medicine — there is. And this book is the clearest, most honest guide to understanding it.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Most physicians exploring concierge medicine don't lack ambition or ability. They lack clarity. The information available is scattered, vendor-driven, or wrapped in hype. What they need is a grounded, independent look at what this model actually involves — the real economics, the real patient relationships, the real leadership decisions — written by someone who has spent nearly two decades covering it from the inside.
That's what Unhurried is.
Written by the Editor-in-Chief of Concierge Medicine Today — the industry's independent trade publication since 2007 — Unhurried draws on nearly two decades of physician interviews, national conference conversations, and independent research. This is not a sales pitch for concierge medicine. It is a clear-eyed look at what it takes to build a practice worth building.
INSIDE THE BOOK
How modern concierge and membership-based care models actually work — and how to evaluate whether one fits your goals, your market, and your patients
The history and evolution of this field — and where it's heading next
What physicians who've made the transition wish they had known before they started
The leadership, mindset, and operational decisions that determine whether a practice sustains — or struggles
Real lessons from real practices, grounded in industry conversations and nearly two decades of independent coverage
WHAT YOU'LL LEAVE WITH
You'll finish this book with a clearer picture of what concierge medicine actually looks like in practice — not the version someone is selling you, but the version physicians are actually living. Whether you're three years away from making a move or three months, Unhurried gives you the perspective to make that decision with confidence.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING
"Delivers what most resources don't: context, caution, and clarity — written by an industry authority physicians can trust."
"Required reading for physicians seeking clarity, confidence, and credibility in concierge medicine."
"This is the book I wish existed when I was figuring out whether to make the transition."
