Your primary care doctor’s time is her most valuable resource. Unfortunately, the current insurance payment system rewards how many patients are seen, not the quality of care given. This system is robbing both physician and patient of the critical ingredient in quality health care: time.
Mountain View Family HealthCare is based on the belief that every part of the practice must bring value to the relationship that matters the most: the doctor-patient relationship. By keeping overhead to a minimum, choosing to not involve insurance in her office, and limiting the number of patients she serves, Dr. Lewis is able to spend more time with you, bringing personalization and compassion to each encounter.
Access to your personal physician is key in both maintaining and achieving quality of life, as well as expert guidance when illness occurs. You will be able to access Dr. Lewis through office visits, email consultations, phone consultations and home visits when medically indicated. When an urgent medical issue occurs outside of business hours, you will have access directly to Dr. Lewis, not an unknown physician or answering service.
By employing your personal physician directly, you can be sure that her interests and attention are invested in your care. She can spend her time researching your needs, not learning the latest rules and regulations to be followed in order to be paid by insurance companies. You are investing in the time of an expert professional whose job it is to learn your needs and stay current on her field of expertise: your health.
Financially viable and personally sustainable practices that are satisfying to both physician and patient are the only hope for the future of primary care. Dr. Lewis firmly believes that having a robust, viable primary care system in the United States is the only hope for decreasing health care costs and providing all citizens with basic health care services.
