After searching for a primary care doctor since moving to the area, I stumbled upon Lifescape Medical. I learned about their $60 annual fee and decided I was fine with it for the additional services they provided (one being, "near same day appointments with first available provider"). Unfortunately, only one doctor was taking new patients with my insurance and the first available appointment was over 5 weeks out. The woman I spoke with on the phone was very nice and explained that only after my initial "new patient" visit could I expect the "near same day" service. I would have been fine with 1 or 2 weeks, but couldn't move forward on the appointment without really knowing if this would be the norm.
