22 132 Chief Justice Cushing Highway, #40, Cohasset 781.923.7005 / info@cohassetcm.com Outside of medicine, she is a mother of two daughters and enjoys running, tennis, skiing, hiking, music and singing in a chorus. Her active lifestyle reflects the balanced approach she encourages in her patients. "Life is about balance," she says. "You don't have to run a marathon. You don't have to do a restrictive diet. It's about finding the happy medium." BREAKING COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS One of the biggest misconceptions about concierge medicine, according to Dr. Vincent, is that patients can no longer use their health insurance. Patients maintain their existing insurance coverage, which continues to cover eligible office visits, lab work, imaging, specialist care, medications and other healthcare services. The membership fee supports the enhanced access, longer appointments and personalized attention that define the concierge model. Another common misconception is that concierge medicine is only for the ultra-wealthy. Dr. Vincent says many prospective patients are surprised to learn how accessible the model can be. Cohasset Concierge Medicine welcomes adults ages 18 and older, with memberships structured by age group and discounts available for families. Patients range from busy professionals and retirees to individuals managing chronic conditions, as well as those simply looking for a more proactive and personalized approach to their healthcare. "I think people would like to understand why concierge medicine exists," says Dr. Vincent. "It's basically a primary care doctor who's here for you, who's here to know you, and who's here to help you navigate the healthcare system." For those interested in learning more, Cohasset Concierge Medicine offers a complimentary meet-and-greet consultation. The no-obligation visit provides an opportunity to meet Dr. Vincent, tour the office, discuss healthcare goals and determine whether the membership model is the right fit. For South Shore residents seeking a more personalized approach to primary care, Cohasset Concierge Medicine is now welcoming new patients. A SOUTH SHORE PHYSICIAN WITH A COMMUNITY FOCUS Although Cohasset Concierge Medicine is new, Dr. Vincent is no stranger to the South Shore community. She has been caring for local patients since 2017 and chose Cohasset as the home for her practice because of the connections she has built throughout the region.
