CDC Data Highlights Returning Popularity in House Call Style Care, says Dr. Michael Farzam of House Call Doctor Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Feb. 05, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A January 25 article in Healthcare Dive reported on new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that showed fewer Americans are seeing their doctors in their offices. Instead, the finding suggested that more people are turning towards new forms of care that offer more convenience and sometimes more personal attention. Dr. Michael Farzam of House Call Doctor Los Angeles says that this data accurately reflects the growth in his own practice over the last several years.

Dr. Farzam notes that, while in-home medical visits used to be considered a thing of the past, its returning popularity is due to several reasons, including portable medical technology, ease of access, and the appeal of personalized care. House call medicine disappeared with the advancement of new medical technology and equipment that were impossible to bring directly to each patient, says Dr. Farzam. This meant that, in order to receive the most advanced care, patients had no choice but to see doctors in their offices where the necessary technology and equipment were as well. However, Dr. Farzam adds, technology has continued to advance with the high-tech boom of the 21st century, so that much of the medical equipment that was once immovable from a doctor's office is now portable, allowing doctors to once again visit patients directly.

Dr. Farzam also comments that visits to a doctor's office are often stressful for patients, especially in a teeming metropolis like Los Angeles. From navigating through some of the world's heaviest traffic to waiting in a room of sick people while their immune system may be ebbing, it's no wonder why in-home visits are growing in popularity, he says. With 24 hour doctor services, patients can help speed their recovery by not having to stress out about when they can get to the doctor's office, changing their work schedule, or finding a sitter for the kids, Dr. Farzam adds.

While the average medical office visit usually lasts no more than ten minutes, Dr. Farzam says that house call doctors are able to spend a great deal time with each patient, offering a much more personalized, unhurried level of care. This gives the doctor sufficient time to discuss any questions and concerns the patient might have without needing to rush through the visit.
