My feeling is that despite their trappings and marketing material, your experience will be based on which doctor you get just like every place else. BTW my doctor prescribed a medication that he had tried with no success just 6 months earlier. So much for taking the time to check my records before prescribing. I also found out that they will take you from their lounge at your appointment time only to sit in an empty room for 15 minutes while watching your doctor do data input at a computer. Plus he never looks at me when he talks because he is busy inputting everything I say into a computer and yet he prescribed a drug he already tried. They really are no better than other medical centers I have used both here and back home. It all depends on which doctor you choose.

Remember this the next time glad-hand elected officials in Washington tell how electronic medical records (EMRs) are just the greatest thing since sliced bread, and how they know what's better for you.
Also, keep in mind that these medical records programs are designed to maximize
billing, not patient care.
