Wow, @Sue22, what a great MD you guys have found. Has he become the MD for all of you and is there a discounted family plan?

So much depends on what the options in your environment are, how much you (and your family) use and are likely to use healthcare resources, affordability for you/your family, etc.

In our case, I really only see my internist 2x/year, my lung doc 2x/year, eye doc and allergist annually, and ob/gyn is going to be moving toward every 2 years after next year. See GI doc every 5-10 years.

With this general pattern of usage, i don’t see how a concierge MD would really help much.
