Doctors who do more complete physicals in the area? (NW Valley, Scottsdale)
My old doctor finally retired, well deserved at 74. I saw him over a decade ago, had insurance change and had to drop him, left the area, came back and went back to him. Very good.
I saw a new doctor and had my first physical. No urine test, No EKG, Didn't have to take off any clothes, just a brief ear check and a quick listen to heart/lung. She did spend time asking me questions and listening to me so that is a plus but just seemed so inferior to what I've been used to with older doctors.
I guess I'm out of luck unless I want to spend $3,000+ on a concierge doctor? I can handle $500 but paying $3-5K extra for a doctor I only see 2 times most years and a bad year maybe 4 times, that extra $1K per seeing the doctor seems excessive.
Sadly insurance companies just keep syphoning money from patients and doctors and medical care keeps slipping downward.
Stay well everyone and enjoy the great weather!
