Very often a patients B/P will be elevated when visiting a new MD for the first time. Best to skip any caffeine that morning. As a RN for over 30 years most of these visits are allotted 30 minutes in most clinics and both visits are done in one clinic visit. $250.00 is the normal amount charged for an initial visit with a physical exam. This is not the Cleveland or Mayo clinic. Lets give this new system and these young Doctors a chance to get set up here.

My husband and I were charged $250 for the initial visit then $150 for the actual pseudo physical. Medical conditions along with all former blood work was brought to the initial visit along with the few meds we both take. Expected to discuss those conditions at the physical, but there was no time. BP for my husband is always elevated at the doctor's office, I was taken aback by the fact I had to bring it to her attention - she never looked at what her assistant had recorded. She is by no means a new doctor, lots of experience and glowing creditials which is why we chose her. So not willing to give a medical facility a chance to get their stuff together when we are dealing with something as serious as health issues. Now the office issues, which are a mess, I can understand that they don't know what they are doing and need to find their way - not so with health issues.
