We would receive roughly $86 dollars apiece back from Medicare. His theory is that we would not be seeing him quarterly.
I really like his level of knowledge and quality of patient care. I'm thinking about trying this for now and seeing how it goes. My husband is less inclined to try this.
BTW, he's not the only doctor in these parts that has gone to concierge.

Well, I can't predict the future, but he did tell us that he would continue treating our family, just as he is now. If that means something changes, it will only mean finding someone else, if that is how we feel at the time. I'm not concerned. The service is probably a good idea, I don't know. I do not know enough about it to pass judgement on the program. I do know that for the past five years, he has been a fine doctor in regards to our family service.
