•Concierge internal medicine · Bradenton, Florida
Concierge Internal Medicine with a focus on preventing disease.
We focus on preventing our most common medical conditions before they strike.
Heart attacks & strokes
95%+ preventable
Heart attacks and strokes kill 1 in 3 Americans — yet 95% or more of these events are completely preventable.
Diabetes
95% preventable
Diabetes can be detected and prevented 10–20 years before a traditional diagnosis.
Cancer
Cut your risk by 50%+
Cancer affects 40% of the American population — we can show you how to reduce your risk by over 50%. Cancer should not be a game of Russian Roulette.
Dementia
40–50% preventable
Dementia profoundly affects patients and their families — 40–50% of these cases are preventable years in advance.
60+ min
Our appointments are a minimum of 60 minutes — and we spend 2 hours on each person's detailed annual exam.
≈200 patients
Total patients per physician, instead of the 2,000–3,000 typical in insurance-based practice.
Your physician
You will always be seen and treated by your personal physician — we don't employ physician assistants or nurse practitioners.
Privately owned
Privately owned and operated — not beholden to corporate profit motives or models such as MDVIP or SignatureMD.
What we look for
We don't wait for symptoms. We go looking.
A normal cholesterol panel is not the same as healthy arteries. Our diagnostic workup looks directly at your cardiovascular system — so risk shows up as a measurement, years before it could show up as an event.
Coronary artery calcium scoring
A direct look at calcified plaque in the arteries that feed your heart — one of the strongest predictors of future cardiac events, invisible to a standard physical.
PLAQUECoronary artery & plaque analysis
Detailed heart (coronary) artery and plaque analysis using the latest state-of-the-art non-invasive technology — proven to be more accurate than any stress test available today.
CIMTCarotid intima-media thickness
Ultrasound measurement of the artery wall itself, detecting disease at its earliest, most reversible stage — often decades before symptoms.
PANEL+Advanced biomarkers & genetics
Beyond the standard lipid panel: advanced lipid fractions, inflammatory markers, metabolic indicators, and genetic risk factors, read together as one picture.
“The most striking feature of the current practice of medicine is that the profession developed around the treatment of disease. Very little of what physicians do is aimed at prevention.”Journal of the American Medical Association
Traditional vs. private
This isn't luxury medicine. It's medicine done right.
Insurance-based practices need 25–30 patients a day to keep the doors open. Prevention can't be practiced in visits that short. We keep our practice small so the work can be done properly.
We schedule a minimum of 4 wellness visits per year of at least 60 minutes per visit. Our annual executive physical is a 2-hour exam including ultrasound evaluation of the health of your organs and vascular system, as well as advanced cancer screening.
Traditional visit
7–12 minutes
Rushed, reactive, and focused on the complaint of the day.
Your visit at HAPC
60+ minutes
Unhurried time to review imaging, labs, and the plan with your doctor — and a 2-hour annual executive physical.
Ongoing monitoring every 3 months lets us detect small problems before they become big ones. We strive to keep our patients healthy so they won't need to be hospitalized.
My cholesterol was normal. My blood pressure was fine. Dr. Lourié found significant plaque my previous tests had completely missed — we caught it early, and some of the buildup has even reversed.
