University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

Very excited to start a new practice with an old concept that is becoming increasingly foreign to the majority of the public. It is a practice where your doctor truly works for you and is hired, and paid for by you...our patients and our friends. This was always the way it was when I was growing up...and actually until about 15 years ago in my practice. This is truly going "Back to Basics"

Present day (other) practices can not make this claim, as they get paid by the insurers and the third parties, and have to follow the insurers instructions and protocols which I wish were all in place just to insure great care...but honestly, they are also in place ( and in some cases primarily in place) because they are cheaper, allowing the third parties to take those constantly increasing premiums paid by their customers ( and MY patients), and then constantly reduce what they pay providers..leaving a much bigger piece of the pie ( close to 90% of the pie to them)

Here at Back to Basics....I want to work for my patients, many who have been with me for more than 32 years. I will no longer work for the insurer, or merely be their puppet, not questioning how they tell me I have to practice or how I have to take care of you. I am going Back to Basics...good medical care, at a fair price....just like I was taught in my training.
