Is this your experience of primary care? No one really listens to your health concerns, or thinks about you as a patient all of the time - not just some of the time?
It can take days, or even weeks, to see your primary care physician. When you finally do get an appointment, you might waste an hour or more in the waiting room before being ushered into a cramped exam room.
Wait times are long, appointments are short, and you leave without having all your questions answered. And, if you ever have a medical concern after hours or on weekends, it can be nearly impossible to reach anyone.
This kind of fractured, impersonal healthcare can be stressful, and it can actually undermine your ability to live your healthiest, happiest life.
Now, consider the alternative: primary healthcare for adults on Medicare that’s patient-centric and designed to boost all aspects of your health and wellness, physical and emotional.
