Concierge medicine becomes a growing trend in health care

When her father and a patient of hers had heart attacks after a routine doctor’s visit, Dr. Shahan Chowdhury could not understand why no heart problem had been detected.

Chowdhury received training to perform advanced exams that would better detect heart issues. She then joined Diamond Physicians, a concierge medical practice, and opened an office in Frisco 11 months ago.

Concierge medicine allowed her the time and resources to provide a thorough exam on her patients, she said.
