Question 3

But I already have a doctor. Why do I still I need a PaladinMD?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You may already have a primary care or concierge physician and or, be working with a combination of primary & specialists. Typically inaccessible to you,  this 'team' of caregivers seldom act as a team. You are frustrated because you leave multiple messages at their offices and rarely receive a call back. If you are lucky enough to finally reach one, they have little time to speak and have not been updated by the other regarding the status of your condition. Without effective team communication this leaves you, the patient, responsible for constant updates to your physicians. Your PaladinMD will quarterback all aspects of your care plan and ensure that you have the time and information you need to dedicate to recovery.
