To My Current and Future Patients,
It is a true privilege to care for and develop meaningful relationships with my patients. This provides the most fulfilling aspect of my work and is the guiding principle behind the way I practice medicine.
I am excited to tell you about my personalized medical practice and invite you to join me.
Olive Tree Medical is open in Wellesley!
Why make a change?
The current state of healthcare does not provide physicians with enough time to care for their patients. We need time to provide the high quality, individualized care every person deserves, starting with the time we get in the office together. Demands from insurances and regulatory agencies have eroded the access to physicians and interaction between patients and their doctor. And, we need time to advocate for our patients outside of office visits.
After almost 20 years as a primary care physician, and a careful and difficult decision-making process, I decided to open a membership-based practice to protect the patient-doctor relationship and provide high-value individualized care. I continue to be a part of the Mass General Brigham network, and use the same resources — such as medical records, diagnostic testing, hospital admissions, and specialty care — as I have since joining my prior MGB practice more than 15 years ago.
In this setting, I am able to prioritize our precious patient-physician relationship. I have time to be directly involved in every level of your care and help you be healthier in how you eat, sleep, move, connect with others and find your passion in life. By helping you to address lifestyle influences on your health, we can focus on preventing and reversing disease and aiming for longevity. I will help to empower you to be physically and emotionally stronger and thus more resilient through the ups and downs of life in all its phases.
What does joining Olive Tree Medical mean for you?
By combining a lifestyle medicine approach with a small practice you can enjoy many important benefits not found in a typical medical practice:
- Your Own Doctor: Direct communication and visits with me.
- Enough Time: Time to be heard, understood, and cared for thoroughly.
- Peace of Mind: Sometimes a text, email, or phone chat with your doctor is all you need.
- Consideration: Same- or next-day office or virtual visits. On time, unhurried and relaxed.
- Convenience: Easily reach us directly – no call centers.
- Health and Wellness: Emphasis on the root cause of illness, prevention, and lifestyle factors.
- Advocacy: Help navigating and coordinating your specialty care in a complex system.
- Annual Comprehensive Lifestyle Medicine-based Diagnostic Exam: I will gather detailed information on your health and lifestyle and do an in-depth review of your wellness goals all beyond what is covered by a typical insurance-covered annual evaluation. Together we will create a customized plan of care to help you achieve your goals — with an emphasis on the root cause of illness, prevention, and lifestyle factors.
- Ongoing health support and communication: Throughout the year I will provide you with close monitoring and necessary adjustments, and follow-up visits to promote and reinforce healthy lifestyle habits. Your support includes health coaching for Nutrition, Fitness, Stress Management, and Sleep Health, and more.
Patients in concierge practices have fewer urgent care visits and hospitalizations, less need for specialist referrals, and require less medication. And they feel more in control of their own health.
I am confident our practice will redefine your expectations for medical and integrated care!
How to join our practice
Once we meet capacity, a waiting list will be started, so please inform us as soon as possible to ensure your place. The membership fee is designed to be eligible for HSA, HRA or FSA funds, but I encourage you to check with your plan to see if that is an option for you.
Membership is not an insurance plan, so you will use your health insurance coverage just as you always have. We accept most major health insurances.
Would you like more information?
We are happy to talk with you and answer your questions. Fill out our Contact form or contact Lara, our Director of Membership and Community Engagement, at (781) 519-6063 or info@OliveTreeMed.com for additional details. If we haven’t yet met, we will have a “Meet & Greet” to get to know each other a little bit.
I am very passionate about what Olive Tree Medical offers. It is designed to empower me to practice medicine as it was meant to be — directly between a physician and patient — which should lead to a healthier and happier you. It would be my privilege to be your physician.
Warmly,
Natalie Pauli, MD
