No the above quote from your OP is why I think you are beating it up. The concierge statement came later on. All I am is saying is "give it a chance and then make your decision".

So far, I can only judge by what I heard coming from the lectures and what I heard coming from a focus group that I took part in. The clinics may do better but how will I be able to judge that?
Most people don't like to complain, especially on this board. Some do complain about doctors but they often get dismissed as cranky. And a good report from someone will carry more weight with those who are big Villages promoters. So how are we to arrive at an objective evaluation?
USF said they will do an evaluation but I hardly consider them to be objective. They are big believers in prescribing medication. That's already known. I found that out when I asked my question: "Shouldn't we judge the health of a community by the percentage of people taking 3 or 4 medications per day, rather than the percentage of people [subjectively] claiming to be in good health?" And she said, "the most important thing is how people feel."
