Area Doctor Makes Personalized Care a Priority
At Rivertown Family Medicine, an MDVIP family practice, in
Conway, South Carolina, Dr. Siena Shields Alford is dedicated to providing the
best possible care for her patients. “I believe in carefully listening to my
patients as they discuss their health and personal circumstances, and working
with them to develop a comprehensive, individualized plan to achieve better
health. Personal care, not conveyer belt medicine, is my number one priority,”
she shares.
As a female primary care physician with over 30 years’ experience, her practice focuses on preventive care and wellness. Alford, a board-certified family medicine physician and doctor of osteopathic medicine, offers a unique approach to primary care, as well. She sees fewer patients, which means more time for each one. “Our office visit times range from 30 minutes to 90 minutes while the average doctor’s appointment is only eight minutes long,” notes Alford.
Patients
appreciate same/next-day appointments that start on time and aren’t rushed;
plus they can usually reach the doctor 24/7. In addition, Alford’s practice
also offers comprehensive, advanced health screenings and diagnostic tests that
go far beyond those found in most other concierge medicine practices. New
patients are currently being accepted. There’s a membership fee to be a patient
at an MDVIP practice, though, so those interested are encouraged to call the
office directly.
