What “First 50” Means
The first 50 patients to join Andover Internal Medicine at each age category (Adults 18–64, Adults 65+, Adolescents, Couples, Families) receive the “First 50” price — and that reduced price is locked in for two full years.
What “51–100” Means
Patients who join as numbers 51 through 100 in each category receive the “51–100” rate — and that price is also locked in for two full years.
These are your Inaugural Member Rates, honoring my earliest supporters with long-term price protection. These inaugural rates will default to the Comprehensive level of care. There is no founding discount for Executive Gold and is priced separately as listed. After the first 100 patients in each category, inaugural pricing ends and new members enroll at the Standard and Comprehensive rates listed. The pricing for Standard and Comprehensive levels of care outside the first founding 100 patients are noted below as well.

Telemedicine for Members
Telemedicine visits are included in all Andover Internal Medicine memberships, when clinically appropriate. This includes video or phone visits for many acute concerns, chronic disease follow-up, medication adjustments, and review of test results.
Telemedicine is used thoughtfully- an not a replacement for hands-on-care, but as a way to provide timely access, continuity, and convenience when an in-office visit is not necessary.
Telemedicine for Non-members
Telemedicine visits are available to non-members for a flat fee of $40 per visit (up to 20 minutes).
Visits include evaluation, guidance, and documentation. If additional care, testing, or in-person evaluation is required, options will be discussed transparently.

Telemedicine services are provided in accordance with state licensing laws. Patients must be physically located in a state where Dr. Brenner is licensed at the time of the visit, including Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan and Louisiana.
Medical Services
Pediatric Care
My clinical scope of practice is emergency medicine and internal medicine where I have been board certified for over three decades. I provide full medical care for adults and adolescents 12 and older, and I evaluate acute problems in children 4 and older (sore throats, fevers, rash, suturing, infections, minor injuries). Of course, anyone sick, I will do my best to treat them and transfer promptly to an emergency room.
I do not provide routine well-childcare, childhood immunizations, developmental screening, or school physicals. For children (ages 4-11 yr) I evaluate acute medical problems only. I do not serve as their primary care provider.
Comprehensive same-day care, diagnostics, advanced in office testing, and pharmacy are provided.
