I honestly don’t know if ‘concierge medicine’ is a different thing, but from what it sounds like and my own experience with direct primary care they sound equivalent. Possibly different by cost or target demographic.
A rose by any other name, and all that.
- ctennis1 4y agoWe have DPC, and it's amazing. We pay $250/month for a family of 4. Some places charge less, but then also charge you for each time you see the doctor. Ours is all inclusive except for any in office incidentals - like lab work. It's truly amazing. Our doctor knows us all well, can get responses to email or text within just a few minutes, generally same day appointments, or next day if she's really busy. Most things we don't even need to go in for - I did a recent international trip, and she just ordered me all of the needed travel medications without having to stop in.
- Arborealist 4y agoThanks. I might try this out for a year. Can’t be worse than my current experience of only seeing a NP for 5 minutes.
- electric_mayhem 4y agoI think you’ll be very pleasantly surprised. Consider talking to a couple local dpc providers and see which you feel you’d work best with.
- wyldberry 4y agoAt this point, I just reschedule if it looks like im seeing an NP or PA-C and the time is only going to be 10 minutes or less.
