Atlas Internal Medicine Offers a Remarkable Patient Experience

Building on her well-established reputation for providing highest quality, compassionate care to patients in the Utah area, Kavita Willesen, MD now offers an individualized approach to health and wellness at her new concierge medicine practice. The unique experience created for patients at Atlas Internal Medicine includes extended visits, direct availability to Dr. Willesen during and after office hours, and a greatly enhanced focus on personalized prevention and wellness.

“Interacting with patients, understanding their life stories, and personalizing their care, had always been the most rewarding aspect of medicine for me. However, in recent years, it had become the most challenging part,” she reveals, “impossible to sustain in today’s rushed, impersonal healthcare environment. In my new concierge medicine practice, the time to listen, advise, guide, and most essentially, focus on wellness, has been fully restored.”

Keeping the patient panel intentionally small at Atlas Internal Medicine means same-day appointments, little or no waiting time, extended, unhurried visits and a strong emphasis on preventive medicine. Long-distance consultations are offered, as well as care for visiting family and friends. Dr. Willesen advocates personally for her patients if they are hospitalized, and provides knowledgeable, caring assistance in complex medical situations that may require specialist referrals. Importantly, patients receive Dr. Willesen’s personal cell phone number for direct contact after hours.

“From the moment patients call my office, I want them to be completely satisfied with every facet of the care they receive here,” says Willesen. “There is nothing I treasure more than the opportunity I now have for educating and empowering patients to make a real difference in their long-term health and wellness.”

Says Herriman resident C.C., a long-time patient and new member of Atlas Internal Medicine: “I had never heard of concierge medicine before but I know Dr. Willesen is an incredible doctor who has provided the finest care to me and my family over the years. So I didn’t hesitate to sign up as a member of her new practice and I’m truly glad I did. It’s even easier to contact her and receive prompt attention for everything…an appointment when I’m sick, a prescription refill, a referral to a specialist, or just time to talk through personal issues of great concern to me. I’m convinced this is the best way to get medical care.”

Dr. Willesen, board-certified in Internal Medicine and Hospice and Palliative Care Medicine, has been in practice since 1999. Her areas of expertise include acute and urgent care, annual physicals, chronic disease management, complex medical problems, depression and anxiety, geriatric health, mental health, osteoporosis, preventative health, vaccinations and women’s health. Dr. Willesen is affiliated with Alta View Hospital in Sandy, Utah, part of Intermountain Healthcare.

Her concierge medicine practice, Atlas Internal Medicine is located at 6965 Union Park Center, #430, Building 7, in Cottonwood Heights, Utah. For more information on becoming a member, call (385) 787-0456 and visit https://kavitawillesenmd.com/.
