Women in Tampa & St. Petersburg deserve care that truly sees them and values their unique needs. Our female concierge doctor offers thoughtful, compassionate support and personal attention to guide them through every stage of life.
In Tampa & St. Petersburg, more women are rethinking what it means to receive medical care. Between rushed visits, long wait times, and the feeling of being unheard, many are asking if there’s a better way to support their health not just when they’re sick, but across the journey of life. That’s where concierge medicine comes in.
Dr. Marai Roque, a Concierge Doctor for Women in Tampa & St. Petersburg, has redefined primary care for women who want more—more time, more support, and more attention to what really matters. If you’ve been curious about this model, you’re not alone. These are five of the most common questions women in Tampa ask about concierge care, answered with clarity and compassion.
Concierge medicine gives women in Tampa & St. Petersburg the freedom to trade rushed visits for real connection and care that truly understands them.
1. What makes concierge care different for women?
Traditional healthcare often runs on the clock. You get 10–15 minutes with your provider, and sometimes the most important concerns, especially those related to women’s health are rushed or skipped entirely. Concierge medicine turns that model on its head.
With concierge care for women, you receive:
- Extended, unrushed appointments where you’re truly heard.
- A physician who knows your story, your goals, and your health history.
- Focus on prevention, not just prescriptions.
- Whole-person care that includes physical, emotional, and lifestyle factors.
Dr. Roque’s approach is deeply personalized. As a woman, mother, and physician, she understands how complex a woman’s health journey can be. Whether you’re juggling hormones, family planning, menopause, or the impact of stress on your body, she meets you where you are—with warmth, time, and real solutions.
2. How much does concierge medicine cost, and is it worth it?
Concierge care operates on a membership model, which means you pay an annual or monthly fee that covers enhanced access and services. For many women in Tampa & St. Petersburg, this investment pays off in peace of mind, better outcomes, and a more empowering healthcare experience.
Make the Switch to a Better Way
- Same-day or next-day appointments—no more waiting weeks to be seen.
- Direct access to your doctor via phone, text, or secure messaging.
- Longer visits (30–60 minutes or more).
- Annual physicals, personalized prevention plans, and health coaching.
- Coordination of specialist care, labs, and imaging.
Instead of paying every time you see your doctor, you’re investing in consistent, proactive support from someone who genuinely cares. Dr. Roque’s patients often say the value comes not just from better care—but from finally being prioritized.
3. Can I still use my insurance?
This is a very common concern, and the answer is both yes—and no.
Concierge medicine doesn’t replace insurance, but rather works alongside it. While Dr. Roque does not bill insurance for her time, you can still use your insurance for:
- Lab work
- Imaging (X-rays, MRIs, etc.)
- Specialist referrals
- Hospitalizations
- Prescription medications
Think of insurance as your safety net, while concierge care is your foundation. You’re covered when something unexpected happens, but your everyday health is guided and nurtured by a doctor who sees the full picture, not just the symptoms.
Dr. Roque is happy to help patients navigate this balance. Her goal is to ensure that care remains efficient, collaborative, and tailored to your needs without hidden costs or confusion.
4. Do you offer gynecological services too?
Absolutely. Many women appreciate the convenience and comfort of having basic gynecologic care available through their concierge primary care doctor.
Dr. Roque provides:
- Pap smears and pelvic exams
- Breast health screenings and guidance
- Birth control counseling and management
- Perimenopause and menopause care
- Hormone testing and treatment
This means you can discuss both your general health and reproductive health in one supportive space. There’s no rushing between offices or waiting for appointments with multiple providers. Dr. Roque takes a whole-woman approach—caring for your body, your emotions, and the many transitions you go through.
5. How does concierge medicine support long-term wellness?
One of the most beautiful aspects of concierge medicine is its focus on longevity—not just in years lived, but in how well you feel living them.
Long-term support includes:
- Personalized nutrition and exercise plans
- Mental health screening and stress management
- Ongoing prevention of chronic diseases
- Regular labs to monitor key health markers
- Annual wellness planning and goal-setting
Dr. Marai Roque practices lifestyle medicine, an evidence-based approach that empowers women to take charge of their health through sustainable habits. She doesn’t just hand you a prescription and send you on your way. She walks with you, step by step, toward your healthiest self.
This kind of relationship-based care isn’t just rare—it’s transformative.
A Final Word, From One Woman to Another
Choosing a concierge doctor in Tampa & St. Petersburg isn’t just about skipping the waiting room or getting faster access. It’s about finding someone who sees you—not just your chart, your labs, or your diagnoses, but you.
Women often carry the weight of caring for everyone else. You deserve someone who will care just as deeply for you.
Dr. Roque created her concierge practice because she believes women shouldn’t have to fight for time, attention, or respect in their healthcare. With her, your story matters. Your questions are heard. Your choices are honored.
Whether you’re navigating your 30s, moving through menopause, or simply tired of feeling like a number, there’s a better path forward—one rooted in personalized women’s primary care that puts you first.
