[quote=Anonymous][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]

I have similar care, but it’s not concierge.[/quote]

I should clarify.  My doctor works in a small practice (just two physicians, no nurses) and already has his med school loans paid off, so he has the ability to be more flexible in the care he offers.  He spends a lot of time with his patients, getting to know them, and treats me as if he were part of a concierge service.  He is my age, however, so I know this won’t last forever.  I agree, healthcare in this country is abysmal (outside of my gp).[/quote]
