Personalized and Patient-Focused: Dr. Alan Glaser Offers a Concierge Care Option at Wellesley Primary Care Medicine
Building on his long-standing reputation for providing high-quality care in the Boston area, Dr. Alan I. Glaser will offer an even more individualized approach and an enhanced focus on wellness for his patients. The membership model, based on a smaller patient panel and direct availability to Dr. Glaser 24/7, represents a unique opportunity to offer the type of care he has long considered essential.
“It’s vital to go well beyond a patient’s immediate symptoms and consider every factor – psychological, social, emotional – underlying their condition,” explains Dr. Glaser. “In my new practice, there is time for patients to share their whole story, which allows us to explore the root cause of their illness. Only then can the real healing process begin.”
After hours, Dr. Glaser can be reached directly on his cell phone, and receive immediate guidance, a benefit shown to significantly reduce the need to visit the emergency room or be admitted to the hospital.
“One of the best parts of being a concierge doctor is getting to know my patients on a much deeper level, just as I would a family member or friend,” says Dr. Glaser. “There is nothing more important than providing care and comfort to my patients when they are ill, afraid and want to see me urgently. A concierge practice makes it possible.“
The patient experience at Dr. Glaser’s concierge practice is very different than at a traditional one, with benefits that include individualized plans for long-term health and wellness, in-depth visits with no waiting, extended physicals and same-day appointments when ill.
“Dr. Glaser is that rare breed of physician who marries exceptional diagnostic skills with genuine warmth and compassion,” says Newton resident Joanne W., whose parents have joined Dr. Glaser’s practice. “When my own physician retires later this year, I will happily entrust the rest of our family's care to Dr. Glaser.”
Long-time patient and Framingham resident Renee B. was among the first to join Dr. Glaser’s concierge practice, describing him as “an outstanding diagnostician who listens carefully and respectfully to my concerns. He has earned my complete confidence and trust in all health matters and decisions.”
For Dr. Glaser, his patients’ sentiments underscore his motivation for making the practice change.
“Their commitment and loyalty deserve equal dedication and attention from me. Taking all the time needed during each patient visit to understand what’s keeping them up at night, answer every question thoughtfully and most importantly, really listen, is the most vital part of care,” he affirms. “I can’t make that happen in a traditional practice, and it’s why I chose concierge medicine.”

22 years in practice as a board-certified internal medicine physician
Medical Degree, Boston University School of Medicine
Residency, Lahey Hitchcock Clinic
