Innovare Medicine

Innovare Medicine is a concierge primary care practice in Brookline serving patients across Greater Boston. Membership is limited, allowing direct access to the physician, extended visits and close oversight of both preventive care and complex medical conditions. The practice describes itself as the only concierge practice in Boston that integrates primary care with kidney care, so early changes in kidney function can be caught long before a patient would normally see a specialist.

Dr. Lu, the founding physician, spent more than two decades in academic and clinical leadership at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, caring for thousands of patients with complex conditions including cardiovascular and kidney disease. She is also a physician-scientist known for research in kidney and cardiovascular disease. Through long relationships with Boston’s specialists, the practice coordinates referrals to cardiologists, endocrinologists, urologists and others when needed.
