We started our practice for all the reasons we couldn’t stand going to the doctor- long wait times, impossible robot phone trees, being passed around from provider to provider, unclear billing, difficulty in rescheduling, inflexible appointment offerings and endless forms.  Medicine just didn’t work for us as patients.

It also didn’t work for us as health care providers.  We had multiple third parties pushing their rules on our patients and us- from insurance companies to mail order pharmacies telling us what we could and couldn’t do, to what medication they would allow for our patients and to how much we were allowed to be paid for our work.  We felt stuck in a system that we knew was providing inadequate and rushed health care.  It was cost-inefficient and bloated- paying everyone between the doctor and the patient by over charging the patients and under paying the doctors.
