Dr. Lee has chosen to keep her practice limited in size. This means she can spend more time with her patients during their appointments, and patients can self-schedule appointments when they need them. Because there are no insurance requirements to meet, appointments can focus on what’s important to patients – whether that is having an in-depth discussion about risks and benefits of medications, planning for pregnancy with rheumatic disease, or working together to prioritize lifestyle interventions. It also means that patients can easily communicate any concerns to Dr. Lee and get timely responses. The web portal, which is also accessible via mobile phones, allows for HIPAA-compliant secure communication such as messaging.
