[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine includes a full physical and bloodwork and EKG plus up to 5 sick visits a year. She did not take insurance anyway, so I was paying out of pocket for these things. I think it's $3500/pp. She's excellent and very attentive. Your Dr. does not sound like that. I'd leave after a year. [/quote]

OP here: I feel scammed after finding out this doctor doesn't even allow email directly to them- not that I would abuse it, but it's nice to have in case there is just something I feel I need to ask directly that can only be conveyed through me, and not through an assistant. I have been with this PCP for about a couple of years, so I figured maybe I would be getting better care through this concierge model. Apparently not. I should at least be getting a means to communicate directly. All I am getting is just an annual physical and no additional visits; and no access directly to the doctor via email or phone. And in their defense, I do realize PCPs are busy and aren't compensated enough for their time and workload, but this is lame. Ugg, need now to start combing again for PCP recommendations. [/quote]
If you’re healthy enough to just require an annual physical then what do you need a concierge doctor for? Just to feel special?[/quote]
