An MD/MBA bets big on urgent care

I would tend to agree with his assessment:

At one end, there’s the growing field of concierge care. People pay from $1,000 to $10,000 a year just for access to a doctor. The doctor has a lesser workload, and the patient in theory gets more personal attention.

At the other end is emergency rooms, public health clinics and practices that handle high volumes of people with little personal attention.

“In between all this is a huge gap,” Mason said. “This model has a good chance of working because people want the same thing in their health care as they do in their retail — they want high quality and they want it quickly.”
