Dr. Lothe offers a concierge program for those patients interested in a greater focus on wellness and prevention. Membership includes a comprehensive annual screening physical, extended appointment windows, dedicated time for participants, a nutritional consultation, advanced screening tests, and the doctor's personal cell phone number for emergencies. You will also have a direct phone line to a dedicated Concierge Coordinator so you can avoid complicated automated phone systems when you need to call the office. As a direct result of the program and the thorough focus of the concierge physical, Dr. Lothe has uncovered serious potential problems in some of his patients; in one case, the tests prevented a stroke. Other patients have benefitted from improved health. One concierge patient lost 48 pounds after several nutritional consultations and regular exercise. Dr. Lothe has many medical contacts in the Richmond community. Dozens of physicians and nurses are his patients. These have helped him become a perennial "Top Doctor." He has the cell phone numbers of many doctors and has direct e-mail access to professors at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical School. He has used these to expedite treatment for his patients. He can direct you to other "Top Doctors" and away from inferior doctors. Both older and younger patients alike have been enthusiastic about the convenience and personalized service of the concierge program. On several occasions, patients have been spared a visit to the Emergency Room because they promptly called Dr. Lothe on his cell phone. Members have called him while they were in China, Tanzania, and Ireland and were pleased with the service provided by telephone when they were far from home. Several patients have said that being in the concierge program has saved their lives. Dr. Lothe currently services about 2800 patients. Only about 100 can be accepted as concierge patients. Current concierge patients renew year after year; thus, space is limited. Dr. Lothe will see you as a traditional patient if you are unable to join the concierge service.
