Veteran Marshall physician adopts “concierge” model

Some local patients have access to more personalized medical care since last month, when a Marshall physician changed the way he practices. 

Norris Royston has altered his work at Countryside Family Practice with an additional focus on wellness, prevention and personalized medicine. 

Starting Jan.1, Dr. Royston became the first physician in Fauquier County to adopt the “concierge” model.

“I feel empowered to practice medicine the way I was trained,” Dr. Royston, who has 42 years of experience, said in a phone interview Tuesday.
