Concierge Primary Care FAQ
What makes concierge primary care different from a traditional doctor’s office?
Concierge primary care gives you more time, easier access, and a stronger relationship with your physician. At NVFP, this means longer appointments, same-day or next-business-day scheduling whenever possible, proactive preventive care, and a care team that helps support your health beyond the exam room.

Yes. Dr. Tariq has extensive experience caring for patients with chronic conditions and helping them take an active role in their health. She works with patients on ongoing management, lifestyle guidance, medication planning, screenings, and coordination with specialists when needed.
What does same-day or next-business-day access mean?
Whenever possible, NVFP offers same-day or next-business-day appointments so you can receive care without long delays. This is especially helpful when new symptoms, urgent concerns, or follow-up needs arise.
Does concierge care replace health insurance?
Concierge medicine does not replace health insurance. Your NVFP membership gives you access to a more personalized care experience, but you should still maintain health insurance for labs, imaging, specialists, hospital care, medications, and other covered medical services.
Can NVFP help coordinate care with specialists?
Yes. NVFP can help facilitate referrals, coordinate with specialty care providers, and support you through complicated or ongoing medical situations. The goal is to make your primary care feel more connected, organized, and easier to navigate.
