Someone's presumably paying her more than $50/hr, which will burn through your monthly fees pretty quickly. Where's the money coming from?
A lot of these 'concierge medicine' services are set up to deal with mostly people who don't need all that much medical care, beyond relatively brisk access to the doctor in a few rare circumstances. Since they also don't really do much in terms of specialty care, they tend to have fewer Px who need extensive personal care.
That's 420+ patients at $50/m.
Doesn't seem feasible to know them all personally and deeply.
Other revenue would be needed.
You're paying for the bedside manner, not the medicine.
I see my wife’s doctor more often than my own because he is also our newborn son’s doctor.
They both have thousands of patients. The waiting rooms mostly have elderly, parents with their newborns and obese people.
That's because just before she walks in she reads your chart.
We're talking about basic preventative care here. Your doctor doesn't need and probably doesn't want to be your friend for these sorts of things. There doesn't need to be a deep personal relationship there if it's not necessary.
(But also, $50/mo is a very low price. I've seen plenty of such services that are in the $500+/mo range. It's still way cheaper than health insurance would cost out of pocket, but it's not 'cheap' either.)
