A personalized, patient-centered approach that focuses on you and your needs.
What to Expect with Your Membership
As a member of Concierge Medicine of Buckhead, you’ll receive exceptional healthcare that prioritizes your needs. Here’s what sets us apart from traditional practices:
No Phone Trees or Automated Calls
Experience personalized care from the start. During office hours, our calls are answered live by our team members who know you, without any automated phone trees or buttons to press.
24/7 Direct Communication
For urgent medical concerns, reach Dr. Harrigan anytime—whether it’s after hours, on weekends, or during holidays. Contact him directly via personal cell phone, email, or text message for fast, responsive care.
Same or Next-Day Appointments
We understand that your time is valuable. Dr. Harrigan offers flexible scheduling, with same-day or next-day appointments available, so you never have to wait for the care you need.
Minimal Wait Time in the Office
We respect your time. Appointments start on time, so you spend more time with Dr. Harrigan and less time waiting. With minimal waiting, you get more time with Dr. Harrigan to discuss your health and receive the personalized care you deserve.
Longer, More Thorough Visits
Unlike traditional practices, your annual health assessments will be scheduled for 60 minutes, giving you time to discuss your health concerns in detail. All other visits are allocated approximately 30 minutes to ensure your needs are fully addressed.
Focus on Preventive Healthcare
Preventive care is key to maintaining your long-term health. Dr. Harrigan conducts thorough assessments of your medical history, lifestyle, and nutritional needs to help you stay healthy—rather than just treating illness when it arises.
What is Concierge Medicine?
In a concierge or membership-based practice, doctors limit the number of patients to ensure they have enough time for each individual, providing a higher level of care.
With longer, unrushed visits, physicians can build stronger relationships with patients and offer more thorough, proactive care compared to traditional practices. This is made possible by an annual fee paid by the patient.
Why did Dr. Harrigan transition to the concierge medicine model?
A primary care physician’s role as educator, guide, and a patient’s best advocate is at risk in today’s medical landscape. Mounting administrative tasks take time once devoted to patient care.
The challenges for patients add up: dealing with impersonal phone systems, long waits for appointments, rushed visits, and lack of coordinated care with specialists. Most importantly, there is little time to develop a strong physician-patient relationship that is at the core of the best care. This is not acceptable to Dr. Harrigan or his patients. Dr. Harrigan believes concierge medicine provides the best solution.
How is Dr. Harrigan’s practice different than traditional practice?
The difference will be evident from the moment you call to make an appointment. For example, if you wake up feeling ill in the morning, Dr. Harrigan will promptly schedule a visit for you, with little or no waiting time once you arrive.
Should you have a concern after hours, you’ll be able to reach Dr. Harrigan easily and directly via his personal email or cell phone, whether you are home or traveling. At any time, Dr. Harrigan will be available when you need him.
Would this practice be right for me?
A concierge practice, with ample time to focus on preventive measures and wellness, has proven to be one of the most effective models for maintaining health.
If you do become ill, and Dr. Harrigan recognizes that health is unpredictable, you will have peace of mind knowing the doctor who knows you best will be available when needed. A call to Dr. Harrigan’s office or cell phone after hours can frequently prevent a trip to the emergency room or an urgent care clinic.
