Dr. Jeff Puglisi, who worked with Specialdocs to transition his Greenwich, CT group practice to the concierge model last spring: “It’s not about the money. I was sick and tired of not being the kind of doctor my patients need. It’s about taking control of your future, and being able to be there for your patients for the long haul.” The only downside he feels is “guilt for not having transitioned sooner.”
