David Vigder MD Opens the Doors to an Extraordinary Patient Experience

David Vigder, MD, a highly respected internal medicine physician with almost three decades of experience caring for the North Shore community, now offers concierge medical care at his new practice in Bannockburn.

“Providing patients with prompt, focused and individualized attention is more important than ever before,” says Dr. Vigder, “but is virtually impossible to deliver in a traditional practice. Changing to this new model allows me to take a truly holistic approach, caring for body and soul. Every patient deserves to be treated this way.”

At his concierge, or membership, medicine practice, Dr. Vigder cares for significantly fewer patients, making a profound difference at every point of care. Same-day appointments for acute illness are readily available, either in-office or via telemedicine. The uncrowded waiting room functions more as a check-in area, with patients promptly welcomed and ushered into an exam room. There, visits with Dr. Vigder are extended and leisurely, with ample time to manage complex issues and conditions as well as focus on an individualized plan for proactive wellness.

“Patients feel unrushed and comfortable, knowing every question and concern will be addressed,” he says. “We go far beyond each person’s immediate symptoms and discuss what’s going on with their family and job, what keeps them up at night, what brings them joy. I cherish the relationships we have time to build, and the paths to wellness we create together.”

Importantly, patients can reach Dr. Vigder after hours easily and directly for immediate guidance. This valued benefit of a concierge practice provides peace of mind for patients of all ages, and has been shown to significantly reduce the need to visit an emergency room or urgent care facility. Additionally, if hospitalization is needed, Dr. Vigder stays in constant communication with his patients and their hospitalists.

“It is tremendously reassuring to patients knowing they can connect easily with me at any time,” says Dr. Vigder. “I feel fortunate to be able to provide guidance and comfort when patients need me most - between visits or after hours if they’re feeling ill, or anxious, or frightened.”

Writes long-time patient A.R.B.: “He is one of the best, an absolute jewel of a doctor. We’ve been his patients for at least 25 years and our admiration and gratitude for his excellent care continues to grow constantly. He has a combination of empathy, excellent listening skills, and medical expertise that is truly exceptional.”

Says Terry Bauer, CEO of Specialdocs, the concierge medicine experts who assisted Dr. Vigder with his practice change: “We are so proud to welcome Dr. Vigder to our network of prominent concierge physicians. His outstanding reputation in the North Shore community is well deserved, based on decades of delivering remarkable, compassionate care to his patients.”

“My philosophy of patient care is simple,” says Dr. Vigder. “I treat every patient as I would a treasured family member, and in fact, I consider them exactly that.”
