Concierge Membership
Personalized digestive care, with the level of access that fits your needs.
At Denmark Digestive Health, we believe the best medical care begins with a physician who truly knows you.
A longstanding relationship allows Dr. Denmark to understand your symptoms in the context of your health history, lifestyle, diet and individual goals. It can lead to more thoughtful decision-making, more efficient care and a treatment plan that evolves with you over time.
Our Gold and Platinum memberships offer two levels of personalized access while preserving the same foundation: a direct relationship with Dr. Denmark, attentive gastroenterology care, expedited procedures, nutritional guidance and thoughtful coordination with other specialists

Included in Every Membership
Direct Communication
The foundation of our practice is a direct, longitudinal relationship between you and Dr. Denmark. You will see Dr. Denmark for your physician appointments and communicate directly with her regarding your clinical care, without physician intermedidiaries. Patient Gateway messages and clinical calls are returned by Dr. Denmark by the end of the business day.
Easy Access
Your calls are answered live during business hours whenever possible, with minimal hold time. If our staff is assisting another patient and cannot answer immediately, you may be asked to leave a message. Calls are returned before the end of the business day.
Prompt Scheduling
Membership allows us to maintain a smaller patient panel and provide easier access to appointments. Gold members can typically be accommodated for a new consultation within 2–3 weeks and for follow-up care within approximately one week. Platinum members receive enhanced scheduling priority, with new consultations typically available within one week and follow-up visits within 1–2 business days
Expedited Procedures
When colonoscopy or upper endoscopy is needed, we work to schedule your procedure efficiently. Urgent procedures performed for new or concerning symptoms are prioritized over routine screening procedures whenever appropriate.
Nutrition & Lifestyle
Digestive health is closely connected to nutrition, lifestyle and stress. During appointments, Dr. Denmark places particular emphasis on dietary choices and how they may be contributing to your symptoms. When appropriate, she will connect you with a knowledgeable GI nutritionist for more in-depth consultation and management. Members also have access to educational workshops with experts in nutrition, lifestyle and related areas of digestive health
After Hours Care
Sometimes a new symptom cannot reasonably wait until the next business day. Gold members may call the office and request that Dr. Denmark be paged for new concerning symptoms requiring more immediate attention.
Hospital Continuity
Dr. Denmark has admitting privileges at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. If you require hospitalization there, she can follow your progress and communicate with the hospital team to help maintain continuity of your gastrointestinal care. Platinum members also receive additional care coordination when hospitalized out of state for a GI-related condition, with Dr. Denmark communicating with the treating medical team when appropriate.
A Trusted Referral Network
Digestive health sometimes requires expertise beyond the gastroenterologist’s office. Dr. Denmark works closely with an established network of excellent nutritionists, surgeons and other specialists. When another expert is needed, she will help guide you toward the appropriate provider and remain involved in coordinating your care
