Privacy and Patient Autonomy
At My Doctor Medical Group, we believe the relationship between a patient and their physician should be private, personal, and free from unnecessary intrusion. This philosophy has guided our practice since Dr. Abramson founded it in 2008, and it extends beyond medical records to encompass every aspect of the care experience.
Why Privacy Matters in Healthcare
For many of our patients, discretion is not a luxury but a necessity. Executives, public figures, and professionals in sensitive industries often require healthcare that respects boundaries others might take for granted. Patients seeking treatment for addiction, mental health support, or other personal matters deserve the same consideration.
Direct Physician Relationships
Without corporate intermediaries or insurance company oversight.
Thoughtful Communication
We respect your preferences for how and when we contact you.
Flexible Arrangements
Accommodating patients who value discretion in all aspects of care.
Beyond HIPAA
HIPAA compliance as a floor, not a ceiling—our policies often exceed requirements.
A History of Thinking Differently
Dr. Abramson's background in electrical engineering and software, combined with his medical training, has given him a longstanding interest in how technology intersects with privacy. Over the years, this has led our practice to explore various approaches to protecting patient autonomy, from secure communication systems to alternative financial arrangements for those who prefer them.
We believe patients should have choices. The best healthcare happens when people feel safe being completely honest with their physician, and that safety extends to knowing their information, their visits, and their financial transactions remain their own business.
Concierge Medicine and Privacy
The concierge model itself is, in many ways, a privacy choice. By working directly with patients rather than through insurance networks, we eliminate layers of administrative oversight and data sharing. Your health information stays between you and your care team.
For patients who have experienced the impersonal nature of large health systems, or who simply prefer a more private approach to their healthcare, our practice offers an alternative.
