Dr. Rob: “The only ones who really understand what it is to be a primary care physician in private practice are others in the same situation. Yet the simple fact that the situation is so difficult makes it nearly impossible for us to have representatives that truly advocate for what we need. Instead, we have folks who think that the private docs are of poorer quality than the academic docs as our representatives.”
