IRVINE, CA: Shirley and Ron Comer are typical retirees with a zest for life, a zest that takes them to far off places. Ensuring their bodies keep up with their spirits is very important, as is knowing they're getting continuity of care regardless of whether they're at home or away exploring natural wonders.

Though Shirley remains fairly healthy, Ron does have a few chronic problems. Unfortunately, health issues rarely wait until one gets home from vacation. And, unfortunately, a typical practitioner is not likely to assist you over the phone while you're away on vacation. However, Ron's doctor is not a typical physician.

Dr. Neimark's concierge practice is predicated on him being available to his patients 24/7. So when Ron started feeling like he was falling over while he and Shirley were vacationing in the Las Vegas desert, they knew just what to do. They called Dr. Neimark, their concierge doctor for the last five years.

The dizziness was pretty bad. Dr. Neimark's first concern was analyzing whether or not Ron was about to suffer a stroke. It was critical Dr. Neimark determine the severity of the situation quickly. All he had to work with was a phone and Shirley, but that's all he needed.

Dr. Neimark explained to Shirley what to look for. He asked questions and she observed. In all, Dr. Neimark spent about twenty minutes remotely assessing Ron, and he was able to determine that the situation was not life threatening, much to the relief of Ron and Shirley. Turned out, Ron was experiencing a case of labyrinthitis with vertigo.

"At this time in my life, it means the world to me to know I have a skilled and compassionate physician like Dr. Neimark to care for me," Ron Comer said.

In less time than it would have taken the couple to call an ambulance or get to an urgent care facility, Dr. Neimark was able to shed light on the situation.

"The biggest challenge of my job is quickly determing the gravity of a situation when a patient calls," said Dr. Neimark. "Because I have such familiarity with Ron, I knew exactly what to ask."

Ron and Shirley find great comfort in having a concierge physician like Dr. Neimark. Knowing they can call him directly day or night from wherever they are gives them the confidence and freedom to continue traveling and enjoying life.

"At this time in my life, it means the world to me to know I have a skilled and compassionate physician like Dr. Neimark to care for me," Ron Comer said.

Shirley and Ron also appreciate that Dr. Neimark is continually researching and learning about new treatments to help his patients. Every facet of his practice is dedicated to enhancing the lives of his patients.

"Everything he does is for our benefit," Shirley said. "You can't get that anywhere else."

After all the advantages and good health they've enjoyed by choosing concierge medicine, Shirley and Ron are loyal fans of Dr Neimark's very personal care.
