Managing my chronic illness

“I have a chronic illness and other related health issues that require me to see a lot of specialists. Believe me, it can be overwhelming making sure everyone is on the same page with my treatment.

But that’s where Dr. Ingram comes in. I call him my “General Contractor.” He manages and oversees all aspects of my medical care and keeps me in the loop at all times. It gives me incredible peace of mind knowing that he’s on top of things and looking out for my best interests.

Dr. Ingram and I go way back to when he was my family doctor in Eastern Iowa, so it was a no-brainer that I would stay with him when he started his concierge practice in Des Moines. And although his office is now three hours away, it doesn’t matter. In this technological age, you don’t always have to be there in person. A lot of things can be done over the phone or via skype. He can also order my blood work and other tests as needed. I never feel rushed; he’s always there for me.

And while I still need to rely on regular health insurance, Dr. Ingram’s business model has actually resulted in a cost savings for me. My out-of-pocket expenses are now just a fraction of what they were before.

Living with a chronic illness is tough, but I feel well taken care of with Dr. Ingram. He treats the whole patient –emotionally, physically, and medically.”
