Nationally Renowned Cardiologist, Kimberly Parks, MD, Establishes Groundbreaking Concierge Practice: Synergy Private Health

In collaboration with Newton-Wellesley Hospital and Castle Connolly Private Health Partners

NEWTON, Mass., April 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Castle Connolly Private Health Partners, LLC (“CCPHP”), in collaboration with Newton-Wellesley Hospital, and renowned cardiologist, Dr. Kimberly Parks, is pleased to announce the formation of Synergy Private Health– a pioneering approach to primary and cardiac care.

"By bringing together my love for cardiology and my commitment to providing holistic care, we can now use our resources to prevent illness, rather than only treating it," said Dr. Kimberly Parks, Medical Director of Synergy Private Health.

Synergy Private Health is an exciting, innovative and comprehensive membership-based practice, which has been developed by Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Dr. Kimberly Parks and Castle Connolly Private Health Partners, LLC.  This state-of-the-art, personalized practice will be led by Dr. Parks. Dr. Parks will provide not only cardiology services, but comprehensive primary care and highly personalized lifestyle medicine.

“Traditionally, doctors treat disease. I have spent most of my career working with transplant patients and other physicians, collaboratively ensuring my patients get all of the time and attention they need prior to and post-operation. I spend lots of time getting to know the patient through-and-through, working hard to make these very sick people well,” said Dr. Parks. “This is the type of care we need to be providing everyone: tailoring preventative treatment plans to people that are well to help them lead long, thriving lives. This idea is truly the impetus for establishing a lifestyle and wellness-focused cardiology and primary care practice, Synergy Private Health. By bringing together my love for cardiology and my commitment to providing holistic care, we can now use our resources to prevent illness, rather than only treating it.”

Synergy Private Health members will have the option of concierge-level service and priority scheduling with selected, leading specialists in the Newton-Wellesley Hospital community. The focus of this groundbreaking practice will be uncompromising individualized care and an exceptional focus on prevention, lifestyle modification and culinary medicine. 

“People living throughout our communities are looking for different types of care and it is our responsibility to meet those expectations,” said Dr. Michael R. Jaff, President of Newton-Wellesley Hospital. “This membership-based model provides a highly-personalized primary care experience with the addition of many exclusive health and wellness features that some consumers are looking for.”

By collaborating with CCPHP, and Newton-Wellesley Hospital, Dr. Kimberly Parks will be able to provide outstanding, personalized care through a flexible membership model that will allow members of Synergy Private Health: same-day and next-day appointments, extended office visits, enhanced connectivity to over 50,000 Castle Connolly Top Doctors® in the US and more than 7,000 international Top Doctors, access to the innovative and personalized SENS Solution® Wellness program, greater hospital care navigation and much more.
