I had a visit to Dr. Ivan Castro's new practice, other wise known as Private Health MD. Me being not really a doctor person was a bit hesitant to pay for additional medical costs for a 'concierge' service! I have noticed recently that there are many other Physicians that are turning to this boutique style medicine, so I did my research. I called, browsed the internet, read up on Doctor history compared all my options and I came to the conclusion that if I was going to pay for additional costs it would be with Dr. Castro...his office was very helpful in answering all my questions, even offering to have me come in and talk directly with Dr. Castro for however long I needed to, very accomidating! I weighed my options on the different prices that all these new Boutique Practices are charging and came to the conclusion that I would much rather pay for a doctor that is not only available all the time to me but will see me in the hospital or at my home if I can't make it to his office. I found that other Physicians operaring these VIP practices were not as accomidating for the amount of money they wanted, some did not want to see me in the hospital..or should I say couldn't...they did not even have hospital privelages! Some wanted me to pay a yearly fee and my copays for each office visit and some wanted to restrict the amount. Be VERY careful before signing on to any of these practices. I found that some had so many additional costs that the intial fee was minute compared to the costs I would incur during the year for copays, blood work etc. Dr. Castro's office was clean cut and dry...one yearly fee, unlimited office visits, no copays and they use your insurance to bill your blood work to and any MRI's CT's etc. EASY! I barely sat in the waiting room for 3 minutes before I was greeted by Dr. Castro's nurse Marla...she is wonderful. I was able to speak with her and the Doctor with out feeling rushed at all..I checked out and had to do nothing...my blood was drawn there (none of this going to an outside lab) and me referral was scheduled with in minutes right in front of me , it was worth my dollar, for sure. Has anyone else had this experience with Dr. Castro or any other boutique/concierge office before?
