You may wonder if you even need a direct primary care doctor, especially if you already have medical insurance.
While medical insurance is beneficial, it has its limits. It helps with catastrophes—to protect you financially when something serious or unexpected happens. This is known as reactive care, which focuses on helping you recover when you’re already sick or injured.
Our membership-based primary care model is proactive and aims to prevent disease, illness, and chronic conditions. With this model, you have direct access to Dr. Stella Villacorta, your female concierge doctor in Fort Lauderdale.
Meet Dr. Stella Villacorta
Dr. Villacorta’s holistic care approach first began with her education and training. She learned from some of the best, having earned her medical degree at Nova Southeastern Medical School, completed her residency at Broward Health Medical Center, and pursued additional training in nutrition at Stanford University.
Following her education, she started working in a traditional healthcare system. Here, she witnessed firsthand the flaws in quick, reactive care that traditional healthcare often emphasizes. Patients felt burnt out from the lack of time and attention their health deserved, confused by vague answers and unexplained medical bills.
After being diagnosed with breast cancer, she too had to navigate the system as a patient, which deepened her perspective that patients deserve more from their physicians.
Her experiences as both doctor and patient drive her to provide her patients with the genuine connection and clarity missing in standard care.
Here’s what Dr. Villacorta can offer you that medical insurance cannot.
Direct Access to Your Doctor
If you develop a cough, sore throat, or need to discuss new symptoms, you shouldn’t have to wait to receive care. With Dr. Villacorta, care is always within reach, allowing you to address concerns early on and preventing the risk of your symptoms worsening.
“I can’t recommend this concierge doctor in Fort Lauderdale enough. I woke up with a bad sore throat, chills, and a fever, and within minutes of reaching out she got me in for a visit. She treated my symptoms right away and even gave me nutrition advice to speed up my recovery. There was no waiting, no hassle—just a doctor who actually cares and makes you feel like a priority. It’s a totally different level of healthcare.”- Giavonna Antonucci
Advanced Diagnostic Testing for Chronic Disease Prevention
While Dr. Villacorta offers routine labs and blood work, she also takes a much deeper look at your internal health with advanced preventative screenings. This concierge medical service helps you stay ahead of disease, chronic conditions, and even cancer. These screenings include:
- Full-body MRI scan
- Galleri multi-cancer early-detection blood test
- Heart and lung scans
Screening and Lab Results Interpretation
Dr. Villacorta doesn’t believe that simply getting these tests is enough—you need to understand them. This dedication to patient care stems from her own experience as a patient when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
While she had the knowledge and education to understand her lab results, she also acknowledges that most patients don’t share this same background. Instead, many find this information confusing and potentially unsettling, which continuously motivates her to take action and work to eliminate the existing knowledge gap.
She strives to equip her patients with the tools to actively participate in their own well-being, translating complex medical jargon into easily digestible insights. It’s this philosophy of empowerment that defines her practice.
Healthcare Navigation
You no longer have to bounce between specialists or wait months for an appointment. Dr. Villacorta handles the intricacies of the confusing healthcare system for you. Under her care, she will coordinate with specialists to give you quality care, interpret lab results, follow up on imaging scans, and explain lab data in clear, relatable language.
