Dr. Lawrence Richard Vanmeter, MD

DR VAN METER AND HIS BUSINESS PARTNER DR JAMES WEISE HAVE A CONCIERGE PRACTICE WHICH MEANS FOR A $200/MOS FEE THEIR PATIENTS HAVE 24/7 PHONE ACCESS TO THEIR RESPECTIVE PRIMARY MD. BOTH ARE INTERNISTS. AND YES, I HAVE HAD TO CALL HIM AFTER HOURS AND ON A WEEKEND OR TWO WITH HEALTH CONCERNS/ISSUES THAT I NEEDED SPECIFIC IMMEDIATE DIRECTION FOR ON A FEW OCCASIONS OVER THE YEARS. I'VE BEEN WITH DR VM FOR YEARS, PRIOR TO HE AND DR WEISS SIGNING ON WITH HOAG MG. I HAVE NEVER SEEN DR WEISS. DR VM IS THE SENIOR EXPERIENCED MD OF THE 2 DOCS. HE HAS A WONDERFUL MANNER WITH PEOPLE, IS COURTEOUS, HELPFUL AT ALL TIMES, PATIEHT FOCUSED, A GOOD LISTENER AND RESPECTS PT PRIVACY. HE COMMUNICATES WELL AND IS QUITE DOWN TO EARTH AS ARE HIS RESPONSES TO PATIENT CONCERNS AND ISSUES. HEDOES NOT HESITATE MIXING COMMON SENSE AND EXPERIENCE WITH CURRENT MEDICAL PRACTICES AND PROTOCOLS. DR VM WAS A PULMONARY (LUNG) SPECIALIST EXCLUXIVELY FOR YEARS PRIOR TO CREATING WHAT WAS LIKELY THE 1ST… CONCIERGE PRACTIE MODEL IN ORANGE COUNTY WITH DR WEISS.. THAT ACTUALLY WORKS. MANY HAVE SINCE JUMPED ON THE CONCIERGE BANDWAGON, NO DOUBT FOR THE EXTRA $$ EVERY MONTH, BUT FEW DO IT REALLY WELL. DR VM AND WEISS EMBODY THE PRACTICE CONCEPT VERY WELL. HE VERY MUCH HAS A COMMON SENSE APPROACH AND IS ACTUALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE HEALTH OF HIS PATIENTS. WHILE A $200 FEE PER MONTH MIGHT BE A BIT OFF-PUTTING, IT IS WELL WORTH IT AND ESP IF IF ONE HAS MUTLTIPLE/CHRONIC HEALTH CARE ISSUES ONGOING. I DON'T KNOW IF EITHER DR VAN METER/WEISS ARE ACCEPTING NEW PATIENTS TO THEIR PRACTICES CURRENTLY. PLEASE CALL THEIR OFFICE TO FIND OUT. THEY HAVE HAD THE SAME OFFICE STAFF FOR YEARS WHO ARE MOST POLITE AND BUY INTO THE CONCEPT OF WHAT CONCIERGE MEANS. REGULAR OFFICE APPTS CAN GO UP TO 40 MINUTES IN LENGHT AS WELL (ANOTHER CONCIERGE BENEFIT). WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOUR CURRENT PRIMARY MD SPENT THAT MUCH TIME WITH YOU AT A REGULAR OFFICE VISIT TO DISCUSS THE ISSUES THAT BROUGHT YOU TO SEE AN MD IN THE 1ST PLACE?

Great Doctor

Dr. Van Meter is the greatest doctor in Orange County. He has the finest conceirge practice in Newport Beach. He is extremly caring and has the best office staff ever. I highly recommend him to anyone that wants the finest medical care in Orange County

Been a patient for over 30 yrs, and havefound Dr Van Meter as a caring, dependable, professional & personable physician. Takes time to explain your diagnosis in layman language, gives youguidance to combat and/or accept yourcondition, is quick to get back to thepatient referencing calls, results of tests. He has a way of making each ofhis patients feel as if they his onlypatient. I would definitely recommendhim to any of my family (and have) and/orfriends.
