LAS VEGAS, NV--(Marketwire - November 10, 2008) - Beginning November 15, 2008, senior citizens
in southern Nevada can make the choice to receive the premier healthcare in
Las Vegas at no additional cost by ensuring their insurance provider covers
Canyon Gate Medical Group. The
primary care physician group, which accepts most major insurance providers
including Medicare, delivers the extremely personalized and comprehensive
attention heralded by "boutique" and "concierge" practices, but without the
costly annual or monthly membership fees. Canyon Gate Medical Group takes
the stress and guesswork out of healthcare decisions by matching each
patient with a primary care doctor who is available to them 24 hours daily
over the course of their life; serves as medical liaison with specialists,
during hospital stays and emergency room visits; and offers same-day
appointments with minimal wait times.
Canyon Gate Medical Group is an affiliate of
Outcome Based Delivery Systems (OBDS),
the owner of preeminent medical practices in Las Vegas and South Florida,
with demonstrated experience in the senior market. The cornerstone of
Canyon Gate's mission to provide high quality, cost-effective healthcare is
based on more frequent and regular interaction with patients, enabling
physicians to focus on keeping people healthy, early detection and
treatment. The approach significantly lowers overall medical costs,
including those typically incurred in the emergency room, through
specialists and hospital stays. Canyon Gate patients take comfort in
knowing that one physician, who is an expert on their personal medical
history, can coordinate all prescriptions and treatments to ensure the best
possible outcome.
"During open enrollment, insurance providers have trended toward focusing
on promotional added benefits like gym memberships or nutritionists rather
than on what should be the core foundation of any individual's choice: the
quality of care offered by physicians under their plan," said
Eric Moskow, MD,
CEO of OBDS. "Canyon Gate is committed to providing its patients the finest
physicians in an un-hurried, personal atmosphere, which results in
significantly higher patient satisfaction and higher quality healthcare. We
pride ourselves on serving as a personal medical liaison, so there is never
confusion regarding prescriptions, treatment history or specialist
recommendations. As a patient of Canyon Gate, your physician is your
partner in health and wellness and will be there with you every step of the
way."
