I used One Medical for a year and quit, because their medical practitioners are low quality in my opinion. Probably why they are cheap. I would book appointments and I would only ever see nurses, and then when needed I would be referred to one of their doctors.
For my shoulder injury they sent me to their sports medicine doctor, who was not only rude and rushed, but told me I was fine just common tightness in shoulder. Was still in pain for a year until what I consider a real doctor correctly diagnosed it as a mild shoulder dislocation. Thanks One Medical SF.
If you have money to spend on healthcare, I would not bother with them.
- TuringNYC 7y ago>> Probably why they are cheap. I'm not sure why you think they are cheap. They charge insurance just as any other doctor. The annual fee is on top of that.
- jessaustin 7y agoInsurance is the second-cheapest way for physicians to be paid. People who can afford higher quality care regularly go to physicians who charge far more.
- TuringNYC 7y agoIf the GP comment is comparing OMG vs a true concierge practice, I totally agree. A $200/yr membership vs a true concierge membership is not a good comparison. My assumption was -- the GP is thinking that "cheap" meant the $200 Annual Fee is how they get paid. No, the Annual Fee is just for the system they provide, the care is a typical insurance paid practice.
- fraaaam 7y agoI agree on the notion that the doctors feel "cheap", especially in their LA offices I've been to. It seemed like I wasnt getting a thorough evaluation and upon going to Cedars Sinai and UCLA, I felt I received much better care. In the DC offices Ive been to, I do not feel the same. Instead I feel like I receive top quality care compared to other local doctors. Overall, I generally use OMG when I need fast and convenient care, not necessarily quality. Sidenote: I like how going to OMG is always in-network regardless if I'm home or traveling (for my insurance plan anyway).
