Look it up "concierge care" in wikipedia Concierge medicine - Wikipedia for more info. We have some friends back up north who use it and feel it gives them better access to medical services.


I had an exceptional internist when we lived in Las Vegas. After several years he joined a concierge plan. It cost each of us $1500 per year and was worth every penny. As I said he was an exceptional doc. I'm comfortable selecting physicians
