Princeton Lifestyle Medicine

Princeton Lifestyle Medicine charges an annual concierge fee of $2,100. Patients who prefer to spread out payments can choose semi-annual payments of $1,050, quarterly payments of $525, or monthly payments of $175. The practice accepts personal checks and debit or credit cards. Credit card payments carry a 3% surcharge.

The fee covers non-medical concierge services that enhance access and communication. These include same-day or next-day appointments, extended visit times, direct physician cell phone hours on weekday mornings and evenings, a private phone line to staff, encrypted email through ProtonMail, in-office laboratory testing, weekly drop-in blood pressure and weight checks, and closer collaboration with specialists. Insurance billing handles the medical services themselves separately.

Yes. Princeton Lifestyle Medicine focuses on adult patients. The physicians practice internal medicine and see patients for annual physicals, chronic disease management, sick visits, preventive care, and lifestyle medicine counseling.

Lifestyle medicine uses evidence-based interventions around diet, exercise, sleep, and other daily habits to prevent and treat chronic disease. The physicians at Princeton Lifestyle Medicine integrate this approach into standard internal medicine care. The practice is not an alternative or integrative medicine practice; it grounds lifestyle recommendations in the same clinical evidence that guides all of its medical decision-making. All four founding physicians hold board certification or active membership in the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Yes. Members receive same-day or next-day appointments for urgent needs. The practice limits its patient panel size specifically to keep this level of access available. Appointments run on time and without the rushed visit experience common in larger practices.

Yes. Princeton Lifestyle Medicine performs laboratory testing directly in the office. Members also have access to weekly drop-in visits for blood pressure and weight checks without scheduling a full appointment.

The practice uses ProtonMail, a HIPAA-compliant encrypted email platform, for written communication with patients. Patients can reach doctors and staff by email for non-urgent matters. For urgent issues, appointment requests, or prescription refills, the practice asks patients to call the office directly.
