Dr. Paul Dibble started this clinic in 2011 in an effort to regain some of the good things that have been lost in health care. Wonderful advances in technology and medical knowledge have improved medical care, but there are some things that have changed for the worst. Administrators many times have more influence on health care decisions than doctors and patients, and government now controls over fifty percent of health care spending. Medical care is more expensive than it needs to be, and prices are kept secret. Patients are often rushed through their appointments, and patients are often treated as primarily as parts of population groups instead of as individuals. We think there is a better way.
We think that the doctor and patient should decide what is the best treatment. We think medical care can be affordable if doctors and patients deal directly with each other, discuss the costs of testing and treatment, and look for the best value. We think doctors should spend enough time with their patients and thoroughly discuss their care. Not so long ago, things were done this way; some things shouldn't change.
Why do we not accept health insurance? When physicians agree to accept payments from health insurers or from government programs, they must also agree to many other rules and restrictions--many of which make it hard to provide good care. Complicated rules require more expenses and restrict a doctor's decisions. Ironically, having health insurance often results in more expensive and worse quality care. By not participating with insurance contracts, we are free to make decisions with you about what is best for your care--at the same time spending more time with you and charging less.
