  • Vero Beach, FL (1888PressRelease) December 14, 2022 - Families looking for a more streamlined personalized approach to healthcare with no wait time, longer visits, and less reliance on pharmaceuticals, can now join Island Health Concierge Medicine in Vero Beach.

    Dr. Latia Ilyadis opened the practice after spending years working in a broken healthcare environment.

    “The problem I quickly encountered was that our healthcare system is not set up to offer individual treatment where I could spend the time necessary with patients,” Ilyadis said. “Instead of truly getting to know my patients, their backgrounds, family histories, and their concerns, I was forced to carry an overwhelming patient load.”

    According to the American Medical Association (AMA), physician burnout is plaguing the country, and was pushed to an all-time high of 63 percent during the pandemic. According to the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), physician burnout has been linked to shorter visits, medical errors, and poor patient outcomes.

    Vero Beach residents of all ages, who feel they may have been misdiagnosed, or who are looking for a proactive plan to reduce or eliminate the number of pharmaceutical drugs they’ve been prescribed, can now schedule a one on one consultation with Dr. Ilyadis. With its limited practice size, Island Health Concierge Medicine patients can make same-day or next-day appointments with little to no wait time.

    The concierge healthcare model works best for patients looking to avoid fee-for-service payments and the hassle of third-party billing. It’s not a replacement for health insurance or catastrophic coverage, rather it allows patients to directly access physician services in exchange for a flat affordable annual membership fee.

    “I’ve made it my mission to help my patients navigate the convoluted healthcare system and take control of their health,” Ilyadis said. “My ultimate goal is to increase the quality of my patients’ lives and to empower them to live life on their terms.”

    Dr. Ilyadis is dual Board-Certified in Pediatrics and Internal Medicine, and she is licensed in 49 states. She has been practicing medicine for more than 10 years.
