About

At Modern Family Medicine, Dr. Elissa Gartenberg brings over two decades of clinical experience to a deliberately small concierge practice in Old Town Scottsdale. She trained at Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale and holds board certification in Family Medicine from the American Board of Family Medicine. In April 2025, she transitioned the practice to a full concierge membership model. Her guiding belief is straightforward: time, attention, and expertise should form the foundation of every patient's healthcare.

Dr. Gartenberg weaves together traditional evidence-based medicine, functional medicine, and holistic approaches under a Mind, Body, and Spirit framework. She created PIMA, the Personalized Integrative Medical Assessment, which draws on modern medicine alongside Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, iridology, and a complete biopsychosocial review. The practice offers two membership tiers: the Essential Membership and the Elite Membership, which adds home visits, after-hours direct access, and executive-level diagnostics. The office features a private meditation atrium, on-site yoga classes, and a home-like atmosphere. Nurse Practitioner Christen M. Fouts, FNP, collaborates closely with Dr. Gartenberg to support patient care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Modern Family Medicine offers two tiers: the Essential Membership and the Elite Membership. The Essential Membership suits individuals who want greater access, longer visits, and a true care partnership. The Elite Membership serves high performers and executives and adds home visits, after-hours direct access, executive-level diagnostics, and personalized longevity and performance planning. Both tiers require a 12-month commitment.

The practice structures membership payments with flexibility in mind. Members may pay the full annual fee upfront or choose semi-annual or monthly payment schedules. Regardless of the schedule selected, all memberships carry a 12-month commitment. Contact the practice directly for current pricing details.

Modern Family Medicine operates on a membership basis, so the practice does not bill insurance for membership fees. However, the practice may bill select insurance plans for certain clinical services upon patient request. For patients with out-of-network benefits, the practice provides a detailed superbill to submit to their insurer. Reimbursement depends on each patient's individual plan.

Yes. Members can call the office to request same-day or next-day appointments. The practice keeps its panel intentionally small so Dr. Gartenberg can respond quickly to member needs. Elite Membership members also gain after-hours direct access for urgent concerns.

Yes. The practice offers telemedicine visits through a secure patient portal for members who prefer remote care. Elite Membership members also have access to home visits when clinically appropriate. Both options give members flexibility in how and where they receive care.

Modern Family Medicine offers complimentary discovery visits for prospective patients. This informational interview lets you meet Dr. Gartenberg and learn about the practice before committing to a membership. Membership is limited, so the practice encourages interested patients to schedule a discovery visit promptly.

The practice welcomes patients of all ages, from children to adults. Services include well-child visits, sports physicals, women's health exams, and executive physicals, among many others. Dr. Gartenberg embraces patients of all backgrounds, family dynamics, and identities.

PIMA stands for Personalized Integrative Medical Assessment. Dr. Gartenberg created it to go beyond a standard physical exam. PIMA integrates modern evidence-based medicine with Functional Medicine, Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, iridology, facial and tongue analysis, and a full biopsychosocial review. It works well for patients seeking a root-cause understanding of their health rather than a surface-level checkup.

Modern Family Medicine offers a broad range of services beyond traditional primary care. These include medical acupuncture, osteopathic manipulation, cupping, IV hydration therapy, vitamin injections, bio-identical hormone therapy, pharmacogenomic evaluation, genetic testing, biohacking strategies, and the Breathing Bar. The practice also hosts on-site yoga classes, group medical visits, and community events including the annual Pappy Hour.
