You want healthcare that actually feels like care: direct access to your doctor, longer visits, and someone who sees the full picture of your health. Dr. Corey Howard makes that possible with concierge care at his practice in Naples, Florida.
Dr. Howard takes the time to understand your medical history, your lifestyle, and your goals, building a plan that supports your health today and well into the future. Services include everything from hormone therapy and cardiovascular care to weight management, chronic illness treatment, and preventive exams, all delivered with the time and attention your health deserves.
What Is Concierge Medicine?
Concierge medicine is a healthcare model that allows patients and physicians to work directly together without the usual barriers typically experienced when going to the doctor.
Instead of making numerous calls to an office only to be put on hold or told the doctor can see you in a few weeks or months, you'll receive the personalized care you're looking for
What to Expect Before, During, and After a Concierge Visit With Dr. Howard
Before your first visit, you will have the opportunity to meet Dr. Howard and our nurse, Faith. During this “meet and greet,” you will learn more about the practice and what to expect.
Prior to your first visit, we do our best to obtain your past medical records (when available). You will complete our set of forms, and your vitals will be taken. During your first visit, we usually spend between one to two hours reviewing your history, performing a comprehensive examination, and creating a plan for you that may include ordering tests and/or imaging.
At checkout, Dr. Howard’s assistant, Faith, will arrange for the testing and give you a follow-up date to review everything that was ordered. Additionally, during that first visit, you will gain access to our electronic health record portal, where you can view test results and the “Care Plan” created by Dr. Howard.
If you have any questions after the visit, simply reach out to the office by phone, email, or call/text Dr. Howard directly. Our goal is for you to feel completely satisfied and cared for by our office.

Concierge Care Membership
There is a single fee that covers all office visits and any interactions you will have with Dr. Howard. This includes live and telehealth visits, phone calls, texts, emails, and any other way you choose to interact with our office.
Our fee is not covered by insurance, and we do not accept insurance plans of any type, including Medicare. We strongly suggest that you maintain your insurance for laboratory testing, imaging, consultations with specialists, and hospitalizations if needed (although we hope it isn’t necessary). Our office does not charge copays or coinsurance, eliminating a big hassle and barrier to exceptional care.
Individual and personalized care takes time and attention, which is why we limit our membership to optimize the time spent with you.
