That seems unfair to the patients. When I go to a doctor I want to see a doctor, not a PA or an NP.

And wouldn’t that make TVH more profitable? Hire some doctors and lots of PAs and NPs and direct a lot of your patients to the PA or NP.

Do you have a ballpark idea what the difference is in pay between a doctor and a PA or an NP? I doubt if they get 85% of a doctor’s pay.
