Slide8DPCMH YieldsHigh Patient Satisfaction
“People, it's a miracle. I pay about $45/month for all my primary care needs (their fee is based on age). They can do lab tests on-site for free, or a small fee if it's unusual, and they even have a pharmacy on-site that provides most basic prescriptions for much, much cheaper than you'll get through your insurance. The doctors are all lovely people, and can take the time to get to know you, and - most importantly - LISTEN. They don't have to funnel patients through their office just to make a buck, so they can actually pay attention to what you're saying, which, believe it or not, is mother-flipping crucial for an accurate diagnosis.” “I've had chronic kidney problems since I was 14, and at the time desperately needed a doctor but couldn't afford to go. When I read about Qliance's revolutionary way of approaching medicine I was in complete blissful shock! …the doctors actually listen to the patient and provide feedback and suggestions. Because appointments are 30 minutes to 1 hour long (or longer if needed) the doctors at Qliance can focus on patient education and pay attention to the whole-patient, aiming to solve the problem, not just the immediate symptoms.” “The level of care, the amount of compassion, and the concept of having a voice in my healthcare is priceless to me. I've sent friends to Qliance when they had complicated issues that other doctors brushed aside (and they got answers!); I've sent friends who didn't have insurance and otherwise couldn't afford care, and I'd suggest to anyone who wants a truly unique and amazing healthcare experience to go to Qliance.” “Qliance is redefining what good healthcare looks like, and honestly, you have to experience it to believe it...”
