Accessible, Personalized, Empowering
Values-driven Care
Getting and staying healthy begins with a relationship with your doctor that is grounded in trust and nurtured through open communication. Our goal at Andersonville Internal Medicine is to provide healthcare experiences that are built on a foundation of core beliefs expected by our patients and valued by our physicians.
We believe
A strong partnership-based relationship between you and your physician should be at the center of your healthcare journey.
Your health and wellness decisions should be a mutual endeavor between you and your AIM healthcare team.
Every patient is unique in how they interpret and share health information, so we’ll adapt our communication to best fit your needs.
Proactive wellness care is as important as disease and healing care.
Timely and knowledgeable wellness coaching creates patients who are more empowered and confident in managing their healthcare.
Navigating the logistics of healthcare isn’t frustrating or cumbersome when designed to be streamlined and accessible.
"I really think he cares. I don't think it's about completing a chart. I think it's about connecting with his patients. He makes me feel like I am a priority always and really listens to me."

What is Relationship-Centered Healthcare?
It’s both intimate AND professional. It’s built on a shared sense of trust that provides for open and honest discussions. It emphasizes a mutual regard for defining and achieving health goals. It appreciates the knowledge, values, and concerns each party brings to the decision-making process and works to establish courses of action both sides find acceptable. It’s active listening from physicians and active speaking from patients…and vice versa.
Relationship-centered care is the partnership we strive for with every patient, every day.
A Better Way to Serve You
Importantly, we recognize that the primary healthcare model needs to adapt to meet the challenges most patients are facing:
• Delayed access to their physician
• Poor or insufficient communication and education
• Limited focus on preventative care
• Rushed engagements
These issues can greatly impede patients’ and physicians’ ability to establish and maintain the type of relationship-centered care that is necessary to support positive health outcomes.
Our
concierge model of medicine is designed precisely to address these challenges.
"It's a really organic exchange always and I've never really had that with a doctor. I've always had kind of a weird power dynamic where you go in and you kind of feel intimidated. And I never felt that with [my AIM physician] from the beginning. "
