DB Explores Retainer Based Practices

Thanks for the uncanny set up Dr. Centor, I’ll be talking about retainer practices for the next week or so.

Retainer physicians provide better care. The key to their care is time. We all know that time is important. Some critics of retainer medicine complain that these physicians are unethical, but could practicing internal medicine in 15 minute visits be the true unethical style of practice.

My friend suggested these observations:

1. Because he has enough time with his patients, he orders less imaging studies and less consultations.

2. He now enjoys practicing medicine.

3. His patients are very happy.

4. He and his partner admit fewer patients because they can see patients longer and do more in the office.

How can you disagree with that? If you’d like to fall in love with the practice of medicine, stay tuned….
