Going to the doctor's office can be a logistical nightmare. A physician's busy schedule doesn't always allow you to stop in when you're feeling worst. When you do finally get there, you wait in a fluorescent-lit, white-walled room among screaming babies and sneezing patients for what seems like an eternity.
One Medical Group, a concierge medical practice that promises high-quality care at an affordable rate, reimagines this experience.
The company oversees a network of 250-plus primary care specialists in 40 US cities, enabling patients to book last-minute appointments on their phones, get certain prescriptions via the One Medical app, and access health records online.
The San Francisco-based company, founded in 2007, added 80,000 new patients in 2015 and brought in a number of enterprise clients.
I was one of those new patients, and it didn't take long for me to become obsessed. Here's what it's like inside one of One Medical's swanky doctor's offices in San Francisco.
The appeal of becoming a One Medical patient is the convenience combined with the feel of being inside a boutique clinic with quality providers.
Getting set up takes minutes. New patients can register for an account on One Medical's website.
The company charges a yearly membership fee between $149 and $199, which helps pay for services like email consultations and mobile prescription renewals.
