From Rural Roots to Revolutionary Care: A Physician’s Journey Back to Patient-Centered Medicine
West Palm Beach, Florida – Coastal Concierge is proud to highlight Dr. Jana McKenzie, a highly respected internist known for her exceptional medical expertise and patient-centered approach. With a solid reputation in the community, she has garnered numerous accolades from her patients, who praise her professionalism, compassion, and dedication to their health.
Growing up in a small Midwest town, Dr. McKenzie learned the importance of hard work and integrity from her father, a small animal veterinarian. This early exposure to medicine shaped her approach, emphasizing the value of thorough examination and patient interaction over costly tests. Her academic journey took her to the University of Michigan, where she contributed to groundbreaking research on Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO), a vital therapy for critically ill patients, including those affected by COVID-19.
After completing her residency at the University of Cincinnati in 1998, Dr. McKenzie’s career led her to various locations in Florida and Georgia, where she built a reputation as a “Medical Detective,” known for her diligence in diagnosing complex cases. Her diverse experiences in rural and urban settings have equipped her with unique skills, enabling her to perform procedures typically reserved for specialists and adapt to the evolving demands of patient care.
As a board-certified internist recognized by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM), Dr. McKenzie specializes in the medical treatment of adults. The ABIM sets high standards for medical care, ensuring that physicians like Dr. McKenzie are qualified to provide exceptional service in a rapidly evolving healthcare landscape.
Among her other roles, she is affiliated with Good Samaritan Medical Center, where she collaborates with fellow healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care for her patients. She believes in the power of building trusting relationships with her patients, a philosophy that has contributed significantly to her success.
Dr. McKenzie’s recent stint in corporate medicine revealed the pitfalls of the current healthcare system, where the emphasis on efficiency often sacrifices meaningful patient interactions. “Patients need a primary care physician who can advocate for them, coordinating their care and considering their overall well-being,” she asserts. This realization prompted her to establish a small, exclusive practice where she could prioritize patient relationships and spend quality time addressing each individual’s needs.
As a concierge physician, Dr. McKenzie offers her patients a unique level of service, providing 24/7 access for a membership fee. This model allows her to dedicate more time to each patient, conduct thorough office visits, advocate for their medical needs, and coordinate care with specialists to ensure the best possible outcomes.
One patient shares, “I do recommend and have recommended Dr. McKenzie to family and friends. She is one of the most professional, knowledgeable physicians that I have encountered since I came to Florida from Upstate NY. She listens intently and is compassionate. I always feel comfortable that when I have a consultation with her, my problems will be addressed.”
Outside of her medical practice, she is a devoted mother to two sons in college and enjoys the company of her two four-legged companions, who keep her busy and entertained when she’s not caring for her patients.
