Concierge Medicine in NZ: Precision Healthcare for Longevity
By Dr. Afraz Adam | Medical Director, DRIPS
Most people in New Zealand only see their doctor when something goes wrong — a sore knee, a chest infection, or a prescription that needs repeating. That’s the traditional, reactive model of healthcare.
The problem? By the time symptoms appear, the underlying issues may have been progressing for years. Insulin resistance builds long before type 2 diabetes. Hormones decline long before fatigue and weight gain. Inflammation simmers long before heart disease or dementia.
Concierge medicine — the precision healthcare model — flips this approach. Instead of reacting after the fact, it focuses on prevention, optimisation, and longevity. If you’re serious about long-term health and performance, this isn’t optional. It’s essential.

Why Traditional Healthcare Falls Short
Reactive by design: It treats symptoms, not systems.
Short consultations: Minimal time to explore complex connections.
Late intervention: Conditions are often detected only after they become problems.
This system leaves gaps that affect energy, resilience, and quality of life.
What Makes Concierge Medicine Different
Concierge medicine isn’t just about having a doctor “on call.” It’s a data-driven, personalised partnership designed to keep you ahead of illness and aging.
At Drips, concierge care includes:
Comprehensive Testing
DNA analysis, advanced blood panels, hormone mapping, microbiome profiling, cardiovascular risk screening, and biological age measurement.
Deeper Consultations
Time to interpret results properly, explain the patterns, and design strategies that fit your lifestyle.
Precision Health Plans
From hormone optimisation and gut repair to IV nutrient therapy, nutrition strategies, and functional lifestyle design.
Active Monitoring
Regular re-testing and fine-tuning, so your plan evolves as your biology changes.
This isn’t quick-fix medicine. It’s an investment in your long-term vitality and resilience.
The Real Value of Concierge Medicine
I’ve seen patients told “everything looks fine” in a traditional setting — yet they still felt exhausted, foggy, or stuck. With concierge-level precision testing, we uncovered hidden issues: early insulin resistance, hormone shifts, nutrient deficiencies.
Correcting these before they progressed didn’t just improve sleep and energy — it shifted their biological age, restored resilience, and reignited performance.
They didn’t just add years to life. They added life to years.
Why Everyone Should Consider Concierge Healthcare
Think about the investments people already make: gym memberships, supplements, skincare, insurance. All worthwhile — but none of it matters if the foundations of your health are quietly breaking down.
Concierge medicine is the missing link. It ensures that all your other health efforts actually pay off by addressing the underlying systems first.
