First up today doctor house calls were common a long timing a, but now they are making a come back. Sounds like a nice thing. Our busy modern lifestyle and a challenged Healthcare System has created a need for convenient and complete care. Joining us this morning is dr. Danish siddiqui and Nurse Practitioner joan remedynow. They provide on demand house calls at your home or office, and welcome to the Morning Blend. I apologize it was the name of the little girl that got stuck in my head. A lot of different names there. Thank you for being here. Thank you for having us. This is exciting. A thing that a lot of people think is in the past. Talk about making it convenient and comfortable for people. I think its wonderful and it has been a really long time in the milwaukee area. Talk about the business the partnership that you have established and why. I think unfortunately, the Healthcare System right now is quite fragmented and broken and various common problems for common patient. Common person. And if someone gets sick and, you its very difficult to find a primary care provider of your own what do you do you want to go to the urgent care emergency room. Emergency room unfortunately you have to wait for hours to be seen. Once you have seen the appointment, you are often rushed for this appointment. And that doctor doesnt know you and your history. There is not a relationship established. Absolutely and so remedynow is trying to break and transform delivery of healthcare and bringing the convenience and the basically, in terms of the house you can do is you can download our app and you can request an appointment through computer through your computer or just pe or just call us. One of our experienced Health Professionals can come to you right in the comfort of your home. I think that is huge. Uhhuh. Shorter wait times and longer appointments. I think that is the key. Relationship that we are losing the patient physician relationship so i think that is bringing it back. Huge. So transforming the delivery of healthcare is what you are looking for. Joan this is one of the great frustrations is actually getting a person calling and getting immediate response. So one of the services that you provide is also attention to urgent care. Tell me how you would address some of those things . We provide urgent care, so we say you have bronchitis or infection or a cut youre not sure if you have to go to the emergency room for or we also provide we can come to your home and take care of that right there. We have our little take our equipment with us. And then we have primary care. A lot of people dont have a primary care provider and, so we can provide that. We do annual examines and school physicals. And provide primary care for you. We aalso do chronic care. People with diabetes or high blood pressure. The exciting thing with remedy now is we have the Integrative Wellness piece so a lot of these medical problems, you should be dealing with with lifestyle changes. So, we have, we work with people home, acupuncture, physical therapy, right in your home. You have coaches that are really focusing on prevention. Uhhuh. Correct. Emphasis on prevention. To have all of those disciplines available to you and to think it is in a house call is truly remarkable. I wonder how do you see your urgent care and primary care differing from other services out there. We provide most of the services that typical urgent care would provide. With the difference we come to you. The healthcare is coming to healthcare. In the comfort of your home. There certain conditions that can be managed by quick chatting. The various Health Companies which are around. What we are different about is the fact that look the certain commissions that can be helped by a visit, but if you think this visit needs to be prolonged assessment or clinical exam we will send someone to complete that visit. I think that is different because we are locally situated. Primary care. We just talked about primary care. Think primary care you go to a primary care physician you have about 15 to 20 minutes. During this time if you have hypertension and diabetes, the primary care provider actually takes care of your diabetes and off yo but, often we have seen, that this person is 60 pounds overweight, doesnt eat right, doesnt exercise, doesnt good sleep well. Stress and depressed. What does this person do . Either do nothing, and continue to have these issues, or seek out individual services on their own. So thats when the ingrated Health Coaches comes in. Then we can determine and customize. Needs what is the chronic illness or wellness we need to first find out the needs for you and then develop a program for you. And then since we have the medical providers and the integrated providers they talk to each other and form a customized care for you. A personalized care. Youre treating the whole person. The whole person. Having a wholesome experience for someone not just providing stopgap situations. That focus on the whole person rather than the individual is really incredible. The fact that people can make appointments in their own home and have the convenience and comfort of that is incredible. Right now youre offering Morning Blend viewers a special opportunity.
