Why can’t they both access the

Empower the patient!

Our current conundrum?We want cutting-edge care,
we want second, even third opinions, we bitch about $100 co-pays, we want to never have a bad
outcome. Oh, and by the way, we don’t want to
pay for it.**
**Is this perception, or reality?
It’s both.
Transparency on provider cost is essential.
Put it on the practice’s web site.Even its Facebook Fan page.
