There is always a busy hum of activity in a Montessori Classroom because the use of the materials involves many motions: walking, carrying, pouring, speaking, and particularly, the constant use of the hands.

All activities, however, is guided by respect. Respect for the teacher, respect for the other children and respect for the environment and the materials. Dr. Montessori felt that young children learn by doing, and that they acquire self discipline by learning to concentrate on meaningful work. Montessori’s aim was to help the unfolding of life, to understand the needs of the child, to draw out from each individual all of which they are capable, and to develop the potentialities locked within each child.

Highly respected internist Chethana Rao, MD now offers a concierge medicine option at her Fairfax-based practice. The difference is evident at every point of care, with direct, after-hours availability to Dr. Rao, same-day appointments when needed, and extended visits with little to no waiting time.

“My concierge practice is limited in size, which allows me to go well beyond the traditional emphasis on treating disease,” explains Dr. Rao. “Evidence-based, prescriptive lifestyle changes can treat and often reverse the most common chronic conditions, but the typical 10-minute appointment leaves no time to address anything except the most acute issues. The concierge model enables me to explore the roots of a patient’s condition, understand them as individuals and make a real change in their health trajectory by preventing illness from the start.”
