Is it possible to find, say, a private doctor that is able to give more personal care than a GP at a typical hospital? Whenever I talk to a doctor about my symptoms it feels like they're just doing triage. I can't really blame them for that, but I would happily pay $$$ for an experienced professional who truly cared about my health. I have no idea if such a thing exists though (outside the sphere of the very wealthy, of course).


I pay $150/mo to be a patient of a local "concierge" doctor in Sacramento. This is a D.O. that previously had a regular insurance-based practice. Appointments are free, usually on time, and can run 20-30 minutes. Labs and prescriptions can still go through my regular health insurance.


Thanks -- this definitely seems like a step up.
