I have some complex conditions that most PCPs don't have the training to monitor. I trust the specialists and for me the PCP or NP just needs to issue a couple of routine prescriptions. I didn't go for a concierge doctor because  I wasn't paying $2000 for them not to be able to manage my conditions, which are above their pay grade. I couldn't see what their extra special annual check ups would accomplish. My previous PCP (before she went concierge) knew that I knew more about my condition than she did.[/quote]

A good Internist is a generalist they know how to connect the dots and know if the procedure recommended by specialists is the best option in your specific situation .[/quote]

Laughed our loud of picturing myself trusting an internest instead of my JHU cadiologist.  "Sorry world renowned heart specialist, but my internest said that the procedure might not be a good idea"   :roll: [/quote]
