What Happens When You Keep Meaning to Deal With Your Health?

Most people don’t switch to concierge medicine because they had a great day. They switch after something happens that could have been prevented.

Year 1–2
Appointments are hard to get. You skip a physical. Labs go unchecked. A number trends the wrong direction but no one catches it because the 15-minute visit is already full.
Year 3–4
Weight creeps up. Sleep gets worse. You Google your symptoms instead of calling someone who knows you. You handle it yourself — or ignore it.
Year 5+
An ER visit. A diagnosis that could have been caught earlier. Medication for something that might have been prevented with earlier intervention.
What changes with PrimeCare Personalized
Your physician has time. Same-day appointments. Direct availability. A physician who reads your labs the day they come back and calls you. Prevention is the job — not an afterthought.
One Medical Home

Everything Your Current Doctor Doesn’t Have Time For

Same-Day Appointments
When something comes up, you’re seen that day. Not in two weeks. Not at an urgent care staffed by someone you’ve never met.
📱
Direct Physician Availability
Your physician’s direct line. Call or text when you need guidance. Travel, weekend, after hours — your doctor is reachable.
Unhurried Visits
Appointments last as long as they need to. No clock on the wall. No physician with a hand on the door handle. Everything gets addressed.
🗺
Proactive Annual Plan
A personalized health plan built around your age, history, family risks, and goals. Not a checkbox. A roadmap.
🏥
Hospital Advocacy
If you’re admitted, your physician coordinates directly with the hospital team. You won’t navigate it alone.
🔬
Proactive Lab Review
Labs reviewed the day results arrive. If something needs attention, you hear about it — not six months later at your next visit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Want to Know About PrimeCare Personalized

Concierge medicine in Novi, Michigan — answers to the questions we hear most often. If yours isn’t here, call us at (248) 426-7200 or schedule a no-obligation meet and greet.

Membership is priced to be accessible to most working adults who prioritize their health — comparable to a gym membership or a streaming subscription. We intentionally keep the fee reasonable because we believe personalized primary care should not be a luxury. The exact monthly rate depends on your age and membership type. Call (248) 426-7200 or schedule a meet and greet and we will give you exact pricing with no obligation. Many patients use HSA or FSA funds to cover the membership fee — ask your HR department whether your plan qualifies.
Yes. PrimeCare Personalized works alongside your existing health insurance — it does not replace it. Your insurance continues to cover lab work, specialist referrals, hospitalizations, imaging, and prescriptions exactly as it always has. The monthly membership fee covers your physician’s time, direct availability, and the enhanced level of care that standard insurance reimbursement alone cannot support. Think of membership as paying for the relationship — everything else runs through insurance as normal.
Traditional primary care physicians typically see 2,000 or more patients. That volume means shorter appointments, longer waits, and less time for prevention. PrimeCare Personalized intentionally limits the number of patients each physician accepts — so your doctor has time to know you, return your call the same day, see you the same day when something comes up, and spend as long as your appointment requires. The medical care is the same quality; the difference is time, availability, and depth of relationship.
The first step is a complimentary 15-minute meet and greet with Dr. Zaid or Dr. Shively — in person at our Novi office or by phone. This is a no-obligation conversation where you can ask any question, tour the office, and decide whether the fit is right. If you choose to enroll, the process is simple and can usually be completed the same day. You can also enroll directly through our physician profiles on SignatureMD. Call (248) 426-7200 or use the button on this page to get started.
Yes. PrimeCare of Novi cares for patients from newborns through seniors, and multiple family members can enroll in the Personalized program. Children under 26 are included for free. Each member has their own membership and their own direct relationship with their physician. Families often find that having all members seen by physicians who communicate with each other — within the same practice — meaningfully improves coordination of care. Ask about family pricing when you call.
Your physician coordinates specialist referrals and communicates directly with specialists on your behalf — so you are not navigating the system alone. If you are hospitalized, your PrimeCare physician advocates for you with the hospital team and follows your care closely. Specialist visits and hospitalizations run through your health insurance as normal. Having a concierge physician who knows your full history and can communicate directly with a specialist often leads to faster, better-coordinated care.
No — and this is one of the most common misconceptions about concierge medicine. Early concierge practices charged very high annual fees that made them inaccessible to most people. Today, including at PrimeCare Personalized, monthly membership fees are structured to be comparable to other recurring health and wellness expenses. Many of our members are working professionals, teachers, business owners, and families who simply decided that their primary care relationship was worth investing in. If the monthly fee is a concern, ask us — we are happy to discuss what makes sense for your situation.
Yes. One of the core benefits of PrimeCare Personalized is direct physician availability — meaning you have a way to reach your physician directly when something genuinely cannot wait. This does not mean calling for every minor question, but when you are traveling and something comes up, when a medication concern arises on a Saturday, or when you are not sure whether a symptom needs attention — you have a physician who knows you and can give you a real answer. That peace of mind is something traditional primary care simply cannot provide.
Direct primary care (DPC) and concierge medicine are similar in structure — both use a monthly membership fee to fund a smaller patient panel and more personalized care. The main differences are scope and insurance integration. DPC practices typically do not bill insurance at all and sometimes include basic labs or medications in the fee. PrimeCare Personalized works alongside your existing insurance, which continues to cover labs, referrals, and hospitalizations. We also offer a broader scope of services under one roof — including urgent care, travel medicine, sports medicine, hormone therapy, and longevity medicine — making us a more comprehensive medical home.
PrimeCare Personalized is located at 39555 W. Ten Mile Road, Suite 302, Novi, Michigan 48375 — conveniently situated for patients across Novi, West Bloomfield, Northville, Livonia, Farmington Hills, South Lyon, and the broader Oakland County and Metro Detroit area. We serve adults and children of all ages. If you are not sure whether we are the right fit geographically, call us — many of our patients drive 20 to 30 minutes because the level of care is worth it.
