Membership-Based Care

Concierge-Style Primary Care for Discerning New Yorkers

More time with your physician. More personal access. More proactive care. Dr. Schayes offers concierge-style primary care through Castle Connolly Private Health Partners.

What It Means

Medicine the Way It Was Meant to Be Practiced

Concierge medicine - sometimes called direct primary care or membership-based medicine - is a model where patients pay an annual or monthly membership fee in exchange for a more personal, accessible relationship with their physician.

In the traditional fee-for-service model, physicians are often pressured to see as many patients as possible, leaving little time for thoughtful, unhurried care. The concierge model changes that equation. Dr. Schayes limits his concierge panel size so that each patient receives the time and attention they deserve.

Through his partnership with Castle Connolly Private Health Partners (CCPHP), Dr. Schayes is able to offer a structured concierge model that includes same-day or next-day access, extended appointments, 24/7 telemedicine availability, and proactive, prevention-focused planning.

Specific program availability, membership terms, and included services may vary. Please contact the office to discuss current concierge membership options and confirm what is available at this time.

CCPHP Partnership

Castle Connolly Private Health Partners

Dr. Schayes' concierge program operates through his affiliation with Castle Connolly Private Health Partners (CCPHP) - a nationally recognized concierge medicine organization that partners with top-tier primary care physicians.

CCPHP was built around the idea that every patient deserves access to a physician who knows them deeply and has the time to show it. The organization selects physicians with strong reputations, long-standing practices, and a genuine commitment to patient relationships.

Dr. Schayes' participation in CCPHP reflects both his established standing as an Upper East Side internist and his commitment to a higher standard of primary care for his patients.
