Title
Direct Access vs. Concierge Medicine Program
Direct Access and Concierge Medicine Programs allow Dr. Mai to care for the whole person while reducing the overhead and negative incentives associated with a traditntal fee-for-service, high volume practice. Other benefits to patients include:
- Fewer medical errors (few patients for the doctor and staff to handle)
- Less exposure to other sick patients when you come in
- More personalized care since there are few of you
- No time restriction on appointment visits
- Short (if any) appointment wait times
- Easy appointment scheduling – often same day or next day
- More prompt follow up of test results – due to a lower volume of patient
The Direct Access Program and Concierge Medicine Program are not synonymous. The main difference in this practice is how you access our physician. Dr. Mai is directly contacted in the Concierge Medicine Program, along with all the benefits of the Direct Access Program.
The premium for Concierge Medicine is indeed higher for the better access and has a few more perks as outlined in the FAQs.
In both cases, the premium paid for both programs cannot be applied to the deductible, copayments, or co-insurance and is non-negotiable. The entire fee is due at the time of contract sign up and/or renewal.

Meet Dr. Mai!
Dr. Mai is a board-certified Internal Medicine physician who has been in practice since 1998. Coming from a family of doctors she was naturally led into Medicine and before she knew it, she was one of the youngest to ever graduate from medical school at the age of 22. She was raised in Canada and received her M.D. from the University of Toronto. Internship and Residency were completed at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles where she still maintains strong ties. Dr. Mai has privileges at Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian (both in Irvine and Newport Beach).
To keep up with the latest in Medicine, Dr. Mai teaches and mentors medical students, medical-school oriented students, physician assistant and nurse practitioner students. She is very well-respected amongst her academic colleagues and students. She believes that these are our future healthcare providers and enlightening them with the old-fashioned traditional medical practices will keep this art from being lost amongst all the changes happening in healthcare today. The patient still knows best and listening to the patient will most often give you the diagnosis and treatment plan.
In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family, non-profit work, golf and shoes!
