THE COVE CONCIERGE MEDICINE
About Us
Medicine isn't just about treating illnesses, it's about caring for people. It's about listening, understanding, and being present with empathy and dedication. This is the essence of our practice.
— DR. AARON BLOCK
Founded by Dr. Aaron Block & John Waters, ANP-BC, APRN, MSCP
The Cove Concierge Medicine concept was initially conceived in 2022 when Dr. Aaron Block and John Waters, APRN, moved to the beautiful state of Colorado. They recognized the lack of access patients had to excellent quality healthcare when they need it and saw an opportunity for a more effective and compassionate approach.
The Cove was founded to provide top-notch concierge medical services and a more personalized approach to healthcare.
With a collective healthcare experience of over 20 years, Dr. Block and John excel as providers who listen to and care about their patients. Their approach to healthcare is not about quick fixes but about ensuring their patients' long-term success and well-being. They are committed to delivering excellent primary care to families and underserved populations. No longer having restrictions of corporate medicine or health insurance limitations in the office, Dr. Block and John spend prolonged time with patients to dive deep into concerns and make joint decisions together on how to achieve each person’s personal health goals..
