About Our Concierge Internal Medicine Practice.

As a member of our concierge medicine practice, you’ll receive truly patient-focused and personalized healthcare. Our practice size is smaller than a traditional practice which means we’ll have more quality time together—not only to treat complex issues but to focus on prevention and wellness.

You’ll have peace of mind knowing that we offer little to no waiting for appointments in a fully sanitized, clean, safe environment.

Changes at Darien Signature Health

Dear Valued Patient,
We are excited to share some important updates and enhancements to Darien Signature Health that we believe will improve your experience with us.

New In-House Billing Process
As a part of our ongoing efforts to provide more efficient and personalized service, we are transitioning to an in-house billing system. As of August 1, 2026 we will no longer bill patients through Specialdocs Consultants. In the coming days, as your concierge membership fees come due, you will receive an emailed invoice. The invoice will include a secure payment link to HELCIM, our new billing platform, where you can conveniently review and submit your ACH or credit card payment. Stored credit cards will also be used for office visit balances. Payment by check is accepted as well.
If you have any questions regarding your invoice, billing or payment options, please feel free to contact Susan Murphy at 203-286-5604, who will be happy to assist you.

New Staff
Dawn Pelazza, RN joined the practice in February 2026. Many of our patients have met Dawn and welcome the exuberance and empathy she brings to her role of welcoming patients into the office and preparing them for their office visits. Please join us in welcoming Dawn in her new role.

Welcome Dr. Vadel
We are also delighted to announce that Dr. Shira Vadel will join our practice this August. She brings 25 years of experience in practicing Internal Medicine in our community. Since 2007 Dr. Vadel has practiced in Stamford, first in private practice and then at Stamford Health Medical Group where she served on the Board of Directors and as medical site director for her practice. She is a Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine at Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons helping to educate and mentor the next generation of Internists. Dr. Vadel graduated Cum Laude from State University of New York at Binghamton and Sackler School of Medicine. Dr. Vadel is accepting new patients and is well versed in partnering with her patients through every stage of life to help them achieve their best health.

What Is Concierge Medicine?

Concierge medicine, also known as membership medicine, is a relationship between a patient and a primary care physician in which the patient pays an annual fee or retainer. In exchange for the retainer, doctors provide enhanced care, including principally a commitment to limit patient loads to ensure adequate time and availability for each patient.

Dr. Drummond has been the only doctor I’ve ever seen who really listens to everything you have to say and asks great follow up questions. I am so thankful for her and her knowledge! She truly cares for her patients and her practice and it shows. Reccomended her to anyone!

Kyle B

Dr. Drummond was amazing! Super friendly and actually cared about getting me better. Felt really comfortable under her care. Highly recommend!

Karen N

Dr. Drummond is an excellent physician. She is smart, sensitive to the patient and family, and follows up in a timely manner. She has good relationships with specialists and makes sure that they are aware of the patient’s needs. My dear 94 year old dad is under her care, and she makes us both feel very comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Jenifer Drummond!

Julie J

Dr. Collins-Baine is fantastic: kind, caring, thorough, and always available to answer your questions or see you at a moment’s notice. It’s unusual to have a doctor today that actually takes the time to know you as a person and as a patient and Dr. Collins-Baine does just that. She is wonderful. I highly recommend Dr. Collins-Baine and her practice.

Marion D

Dr Collins-Baine is a good listener, caring and always available, either in person or by phone. She is very knowledgeable with excellent referrals when necessary. Staff is attentive and responsive and familiar with my background. No need to explain myself. Outstanding practice. I feel fortunate to have found them.

Susan M.

My husband and I are thrilled with Dr. Collins-Baine. She is professional, knowledgeable, kind and very responsive when we need her. She always knows who to call when we have to see a specialist and we have been very impressed with her choices. If you aren’t feeling well the last thing you need is to have to wait to see a doctor for days. Amanda is there for us and it really is a comfort.

Frank K.

Compliments all around – especially to the Office Team: Susan and Diane, who keep things moving smoothly and with good cheer. The whole operation that Dr. Collins-Baine has put together at Darien Signature Health is a pleasure to deal with.
