A: The GC Executive Health Program is designed to supplement your regular physician visits, not to replace them. What makes our program unique is its emphasis on personalized attention and on early disease detection and prevention. Our physicians will take the time to review your personal and family medical history and design a series of health screenings and a health action plan that will work for you. Each client is assigned a primary GC executive health physician to guide him or her through the screening tests and results reporting. Our doctors are working to meet your short-term medical needs, but also to improve your long-term health.

Q: How much does a GC Executive Health Program exam cost?

A: Our basic executive health package costs range from$1800.00 to $6000.00 depending on age and medical history. This price can increase depending on the tests and procedures that are conducted for you. Because our consultations and screenings are customized, the price of your package may vary. We work with each patient to develop a package that suits his or her medical and fiscal needs. If an executive is taking advantage of a corporate benefit, our team members can work to package your services within corporate guidelines.
