Personalized Care
I offer a concierge program for a limited number of patients who are interested in enhanced service and a more personalized approach to their health management. My concierge program allows me to provide you with a level of attention and service that–as a physician–I believe is so important.

There is no better investment than your long-term health. My concierge program ensures your wellness needs are met conveniently and with compassion and support. A physician who really knows you is key to the quality care you deserve.

Concierge Choice Program
My Concierge Choice members receive a number of benefits that are generally not available in traditional practices, such as:

• The Annual Comprehensive Screening Exam: The cornerstone of my program is my annual exam. This in-depth exam includes screenings that go beyond a traditional physical and helps me create a unique wellness plan based on your unique needs
• Concierge appointment windows with no more than two patients per hour, ensuring that you can be seen on-time, in an unhurried environment
• Same day/next day appointments
• My personal availability after hours or on weekends should you have an important medical needs
• A private office telephone number answered promptly by a Concierge Coordinator
• A dedicated practice staff that is focused on service
• Electronic access to important medical information
• A national network of concierge physicians available when you travel

It was a natural choice for Dr. Danovitch to go into medicine. Her grandmother was a general practitioner and her mother is a pediatrician, making her a third generation female physician. Dr. Danovitch grew up helping both physicians in their offices and rounding in the hospital with them. Her close relationship with her grandmother influenced her choice to specialize in geriatrics, in addition to family medicine. The aspect of practicing medicine that Dr. Danovitch loves most is learning from her patients' life experiences.

​Her favorite vacation is going home to Chicago where she grew up, spending time with her parents and five siblings. In her spare time, Dr. Danovitch likes to hike, especially the Westridge trail leading to San Vicente Mountain. She also enjoys cooking and is working on incorporating more of the Mediterranean diet into family meals. Her signature dish is teriyaki salmon steamed in foil and served with sesame cabbage---a healthy dish her kids love.
