Welcome to Rock Hill Primary Care: a Letter to Patients

I want to thank you for allowing me the privilege of taking care of your healthcare needs here in Rock Hill for these past 12 years. It has been an honor to help each of you with problems big or small, help you avoid future problems, or make sure you were on the right track. Family medicine was and is one of the most rewarding professions I could have chosen.  

However, as I’m sure you’ve noticed, medicine has changed dramatically in the last several years, and not for the better. Medicine has become big business and has lost its focus on the patient. Doctors now spend more time doing clerical work required by insurance companies, and less time taking care of patients. It is more difficult to get in to see your doctor for an acute illness, so patients end up seeing someone they don’t know, someone who doesn’t know them. Medical care and health insurance both cost more, yet we get less value in return. 
​
Patients and doctors share the above frustrations. It has lead me to a big change. In January, I will be opening my own medical practice, which will be called Rock Hill Primary Care. It is a direct primary care practice focusing on the relationship between the doctor and the patient. Medicine is personal and it’s much more satisfying for doctors and patients when they can get the primary care they need when they need it. It’s a simple philosophy but one traditional medicine is increasingly failing to provide. This is why I’m excited to be able to return to the roots of medicine. This is the type of medicine that I went to medical school to deliver.

I found it interesting when you said in the last few years, medicine has evolved tremendously, and not for the better. Medicine has evolved into a large industry that has lost sight of the patient. I used to think differently about it not until you explained it briefly and it really got my attention. What you said about primary care services was really interesting to me.

I'm glad that you talked about medicine has evolved into a large industry that has lost sight of the patient. Doctors are now spending less time caring for patients and more time completing bureaucratic tasks needed by insurance companies. One of my parents' friends needs to know this article because they are trying to find specific information about it in a couple of days. Thank you for the tips about primary care.

I found it interesting when you said that it is satisfying for doctors to be successful in treating patients. My sister told me yesterday that she was planning to find a primary care doctor as she wants to be sure that she will be given treatment as soon as possible if needed, and she asked if I had any idea suggestions. Thanks to this informative article, I'll be sure to tell her that it will be much better if we consult trusted primary care doctor as they can answer all our inquiries.

Thanks for covering healthcare ancillary services in such detail! It’s great to see these services get the recognition they deserve.

Do you think outpatient clinics should offer more bundled ancillary solutions?
