A Note on New Patient Referrals

We are fortunate that Access MD is growing due almost entirely to referrals from our current patients. These referrals are much appreciated. This allows more focus on patient care and not on marketing or publicity.

With respect to those referrals you send to us, we first do an initial consultation (at no obligation) to any new perspective patient. As you know, the “concierge” model is different than what traditional practices use. Because of this, we like to explain what those difference are, and answer any questions that may come up.

Additionally, we like to make sure that the perspective patient is a good fit for the Access MD model, just so that we can maintain the high level of service we have always offered.

As you mention Access MD to family and friends, let them know of this process and that they are in no way under any obligation to become a patient with us.

One of the reasons we have been successful here in Mobile is the initial screening process we use. We view the practice as a “family”, and this has made a great difference in the quality of care we can provide
