That's exactly right. I like my GP too and plan to stay with him. There is no rush to change doctors, that's why they only have 1,400 patients signed up so far. These are all the people who were on a waiting list, waiting for the clinic to open. From here on in, it's going to be more difficult. Especially due to the fact that other doctors are beginning to fight back.
In today's Daily Sun there were a couple of adds that seemed to be responding to the Marcus Welby claim. One ad by Premier Medical Associates said, "the staff makes house calls...." (They have 5 Marcus Welbys.)
Then there was an ad by Dr. Paiano: It said, "This is a physicians office where the patient comes first.....Dr. Paiano spends a lot of time with each patient....With every new patient, he spends ample time to discuss your medical issues."
The fight for patients is on!
