How This Practice Works

A different model of primary care.

Your membership keeps the practice small, and that is what makes everything on this page possible: unhurried appointments, same-day availability, and direct access when you need guidance.

In traditional practices, care is often shaped around billing per visit. Three concerns may mean three separate appointments.

At Riviera Concierge Medicine, care is based on what works best for you. If something can be handled safely by phone, Dr. Pande can help triage it and save you time. If you need or prefer to come in, the door is always open. With no insurance companies dictating visit length and no quotas shaping the schedule, your care is guided by honest clinical judgment and your goals.

Why the model matters

Your membership keeps the practice small, and that is what makes everything on this page possible: the unhurried appointments, the same-day availability, the direct access. When a physician is not managing thousands of patients, he can do the work the way it should be done.

It also means Dr. Pande’s only obligation is to you. 


There are no insurance companies dictating visit length and no quotas shaping his schedule, just his honest clinical judgment, aligned with your goals.

What your membership includes

Extended appointments

The length of your visit is determined by clinical need, not a billing code. In person, phone, or video, whichever serves the situation best.

After-hours availability

Dr. Pande is available by phone for urgent matters outside regular hours, with evening and weekend appointment times available as needed.

Same-day or next-day availability

When you need to be seen, you will be seen, not next month and not after being triaged by someone who has never met you.


Comprehensive annual exam

A thorough evaluation tailored to your specific risk factors, goals, and circumstances, not a 15-minute checkbox exercise.


No waiting rooms


Your appointment begins within minutes of arriving. No sitting in waiting rooms only to sit and wait in an exam room after.


House calls and telehealth

House calls are available to all members when medically appropriate. Virtual visits cover follow-ups, medication reviews, and non-urgent situations.

Direct phone 
access

Call and speak with Dr. Pande directly. This is not a nurse hotline or a message portal.



Hospital advocacy

Dr. Pande’s years as a hospitalist mean he understands the inpatient system and advocates for you within it. Your physician does not disappear at the hospital door.
