[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, my husband and I use one - $2k per year.

I love just breezing into her office to get my blood drawn without having to go to a hospital with all of it's sign-in's and insurance registrations.  I love having access to her 24/7 by text or phone.

Her office is old-fashioned and cozy - not "clinical" - she also makes house calls.  If I need a specialist she takes care of all of the referrals.

The health care system in this country is going to collapse eventually - I'm glad to have a relationship with a dedicated doctor beforehand.[/quote]

It is so worth it, if you can afford it.  When I need to see a specialist, the office handles all the scheduling.  No more sitting on the phone for 45 mins to schedule an appt.  Ours is part of a "hospital system" as that is how the medical system is run where we live (90% of docs are part of a hospital system). I called yesterday and got an appt today for a family member who wont be home until this morning.  Took me 3 mins to get that done.  Means we get to see our dr or one in the practice rather than sitting at urgent care for a NP/PA/who knows who you will see.  It means my doc calls with lab/radiology/all results, rather than just sending an email/leaving a message.

They get specialist appts sooner than I could if I called on my own...it's a perk of CM and worth every penny if you can manage the price.  [/quote]
