Why Time With Your Doctor Matters More Than You Think
The average doctor visit lasts just 15 minutes—but your health deserves more. Learn how Asklia Concierge & Metabolic Medicine provides longer visits, direct access, and real connection with Dr. Ariel Brooks.
In today’s healthcare system, the average primary care visit lasts just 15 minutes. That’s barely enough time to cover symptoms, let alone dig into root causes or preventive strategies. It leaves patients feeling rushed, overlooked, and unheard.
At Asklia Concierge & Metabolic Medicine, Dr. Ariel Brooks believes healthcare should feel different. By keeping her patient panel small and practicing in a membership-based model, she’s able to give each patient the one thing traditional medicine can’t: time.
Why Time Matters in Healthcare
Time with your doctor isn’t just a luxury—it’s essential for high-quality care. Longer visits allow for:
Deeper conversations about your history, lifestyle, and goals
Thorough explanations of lab results, treatment options, and next steps
More proactive prevention by addressing concerns early
Stronger trust and connection, which improves long-term outcomes
When patients feel heard, they’re more likely to follow through on care plans—and more likely to feel supported in their health journey.
How Asklia Is Different
In the Asklia model, appointments are scheduled for 30–60 minutes. Same-day or next-day access means you’re not waiting weeks for answers. And between visits, you have direct access to Dr. Brooks via phone, text, or email.
This continuity builds the kind of relationship where your doctor isn’t just managing symptoms—they’re invested in your story, your goals, and your long-term health.
The Bigger Picture
Time with your doctor leads to better outcomes. Research shows that patients in concierge or direct primary care models experience:
Fewer ER visits
Improved chronic disease management
Higher patient satisfaction
Stronger preventive health practices
At Asklia, this translates into more than just convenience. It’s about creating space for real care, the kind that adapts with you through every stage of life.
The Takeaway
Your health deserves more than 15 minutes. With longer visits, direct access, and a doctor who truly knows you, Asklia’s concierge model gives you the time and attention you’ve always wanted from healthcare—because time isn’t just time, it’s better care.
