Who Comes to Medpoint?
Medpoint has been in operations in London since May of 2007 and seen 10’s of thousands of patients.
One question that comes up a lot is “Would Medpoint be right for me?”
In order to properly answer this question we have categorized 10 typical Medpoint Clients.
Please read below and you might find yourself represented. If you don’t feel free to reach out to us at info@medpoint.ca
1. Prevention/Family History
​
This client realizes that the traditional medical physical that they receive through their family doctor (if they can get one) is not focused on prevention but more on reaction to health concerns.
As the saying goes, genetics loads the gun and environment pulls the trigger. Those in this group want to be preventative and avoid the diseases that might be in their family history.
Our executive medicals are a great option for this and especially the 5 HOUR MEDICAL that typically is focused on the hidden medical concerns that don’t present with noticeable symptoms.
2. Medical Concerns
While we don’t recommend coming to Medpoint for chronic health conditions we are available to provide insight and support on medical concerns.
For example, many people come to Medpoint because they feel tired. This could be because of a variety of reasons and full comprehensive screening will often identify the reasons.
In addition, Medpoint has 23 MEDICAL SPECIALISTS on our team as well as a navigational support team that helps triage timely diagnostic and specialists options throughout Ontario and even international support at MGG in Boston.
3. Looking for a family doctor
This is a growing component of client that chooses to come to Medpoint. 40% of current physicians in Ontario are over the age of 61 and are planning retirement in the next five years.
There is simply no way for our medical schools to keep pace with this mass exodus of physicians and this doesn’t even count the severe impact of physician burnout.
The MEDPOINT MEMBERSHIP PROGRAM is often a strong solution for these people as it includes appointments with our medical team in a timely manner, Maple virtual care in minutes as well as mental health solutions through inkblot.
Many clients treat Medpoint as their primary care provider even though they may or may not have a family doctor.
4. Wanting a Comprehensive Baseline of Health Status
Often this client is starting to feel their age. They overall feel healthy, however they wonder if there is something going on “under the hood” that could derail their health and their lives.
When someone completes one of our 3, 4 OR 5 HOUR MEDICALS they are left with a 20 page health status report. They have been referred to any additional diagnostic testing or specialist appointments that are deemed medically indicated.
The medical creates a snapshot of their overall health on a certain day that can be used as a reference point in the years to come.
5. Frustrations with the Current Healthcare System
This is one of the most common reasons people are choosing to come to Medpoint. The healthcare system as a whole is dealing with some major challenges and we are all starting to feel that impact.
There are retiring doctors, long wait times and an overall lack of resources available. Many of these clients are opting for our membership program for year round executive level health care.
They appreciate our concierge team who makes their appointments, the thoroughness of our medicals, our navigational team that can guide them to timely appointments.
6. Corporate
The original concept of Medpoint by it’s founders was to bring executive level healthcare to the general population. We do this by offering our programs at substantially lower rates than competing centres in the GTA.
In some cases half the price! This has led to a Medpoint acquiring hundreds of corporate clients who take advantage of the lower rates to offer even more people within the organization this benefit.
The most important asset your organization has is it’s people. Having an executive healthcare plan is a great retention and recruitment tool as it creates healthy and productive team members.
Medpoint also offers a very affordable EHS (EMPLOYEE HEALTH SOLUTIONS) program so that the entire organization can benefit.
7. Interested in Longevity and Wellness
Many clients turn to Medpoint to ensure that they are doing everything possible to stay healthy and fit for the long run. These clients want to know that their efforts to being proactive to their health will pay off.
Medpoint offers expert advice and training to make this happen. We treat our clients as individuals with specific variations to how to maximise their health.
Our medical and wellness teams are well equipped with the right diagnostic testing and expertise to maximise our clients health.
8. Switching from other Healthcare Providers
Since Covid, people in Ontario have moved away from some of the bigger centres into cities like London. Many of these people are used to care at other executive health providers in the GTA or even in the US.
They are accustomed to personalized care and seek out Medpoint for more of the same. These clients are often very satisfied that they are actually receiving a higher level of care than they were used to and at a dramatically lower price point.
Recently we have also found that clients who still live hours away from Medpoint are switching to us based on our lower price point and exceptional care model.
9. Belonging to a Group of Like-Minded Individuals
While this is probably the least likely reason someone would want to be a Medpoint member, we recognize that this makes up a substantial amount of our clients.
When a client proudly states that “they go to Medpoint” the result is to say that Health and Wellness is a priority to them.
That prevention is important and that they feel investing in themselves is going to have the greatest ROI (return on investment) that they can achieve.
10. Returning Client
These individuals are the reason we do this! While many people come to Medpoint for just a medical every once in a while the vast majority of our patients return every year. This way any changes in their health are found quickly and addressed.
We are always happiest when a client “buys in” to improving their health and makes the positive and preventive changes that we recommend.
Yearly tracking of their health progress is a testimonial to preventative care. You can become healthier but you can’t “test yourself to health”. You need to understand and learn about your body’s specific details and then complete a health plan that maximises your health.
Returning clients to Medpoint understand this and we are very thankful to them
