Internal Medicine, Lipid & Wellness Practice

About Internal Medicine, Lipid & Wellness Practice

Internal Medicine, Lipid & Wellness Practice is a concierge internal medicine and direct primary care practice in Fort Myers, Florida, founded in 2015 by Raymond Kordonowy, MD, to move away from volume-based insurance medicine. The practice has opted out of Medicare and does not bill insurance for professional services, maintaining a deliberately limited patient panel with 30- to 60-minute visits, 90-minute initial consultations and around-the-clock direct physician access. Its three board-certified physicians are Dr. Kordonowy, a certified clinical lipidologist, David Marconi, MD, in family medicine, and Michael Barry, DO, in internal medicine. Clinical emphasis falls on advanced lipidology and deep-dive lipid profiling, metabolic profiling and preventive cardiology, chronic disease management, testosterone optimization, body composition and metabolic rate testing, and weight management. Membership is published at $1,140 to $1,900 per year for core plans, and the physicians round at Gulf Coast Medical Center, HealthPark Medical Center and Lee Memorial Hospital.
