1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,159 Speaker 1: It's that time time, time. 2 00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: Time, luck and load. 3 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: So Michael Verie Show is on the air. Kelly Peakley right. 4 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: Our family has been with doc Healthcare since its inception 5 00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen here in College Station. It was started 6 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: and run by doctor Joel Richards, former er doc here 7 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: in town. It's the best healthcare decision we ever made. 8 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:45,959 Speaker 1: He has expanded in a big way, now offering services 9 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: outside of Brian College Station. His people include pediatricians, functional medicine, 10 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: IV fluids labs and a lot more. They offer affordable 11 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: plans or pay as needed for appointments. We haven't stepped 12 00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: foot in a doctor's office since twenty seventeen. We only 13 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:07,479 Speaker 1: have visits in the comfort of our own home. CJ. 14 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: Landry writes, I love the conzier's doctor we had years ago, 15 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 1: but make sure you ask about critical care support. How 16 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: does the concierge doc handle a heartache from their patients. 17 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 1: Many small business owners can't afford Obamacare or don't want 18 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: to pay for this terrible coverage, so they opt for 19 00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:25,840 Speaker 1: concierge Care. However, this doesn't cover major medical issues. What 20 00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: do they suggest for a solution? And finally, John Green writes, 21 00:01:30,240 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: I've been a patient in a concier's practice now for 22 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 1: two and a half years. One of the greatest things 23 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: I've ever done, and it changed my life. I'll keep 24 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,240 Speaker 1: it short. He didn't. In twenty twenty one, I was 25 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 1: hospitalized with severe COVID for a week and almost died. 26 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,319 Speaker 1: I was overweight and needed my health assessed Tatata. In 27 00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: late twenty twenty one, I emailed you for a recommendation, 28 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: and you put me in touch with doctor Mary Tally Boden. 29 00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:53,200 Speaker 1: She recommended I find a concierge practice, but said she 30 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 1: didn't know anyone in my area, which is Richmond, to recommend. 31 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: A short while later, I was at a dentist appointment 32 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 1: that I asked ad this. He recommended doctor Frank Matza 33 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: in Richmond. I went talked to him one day, fell 34 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: in love. He takes the time to talk to me. 35 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,200 Speaker 1: His staff's available by cell phone twenty four hours a day. 36 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,359 Speaker 1: He's put me on the road to better health. Michael, 37 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 1: my weight is down, MI cholesterol's low, my AC is low. 38 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: AC A one C is low. Most importantly, my wife 39 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: is happy that I'm taking care of my health. Yes, 40 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 1: it is more expensive, but I think Concierg's medicine is 41 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 1: one hundred percent worth every penny. Happy to share my story, 42 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: but please refer to me only as Johnny. Oh well, 43 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: you should have put that in the first line, since 44 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: I read it as it came off hot off the 45 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: press printer. All right, doctor will Davis, and then we're 46 00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: going to go to doctor I think it's Steelman is 47 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 1: the other Will Davis? When patients transfer over to you. 48 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 1: I'm guessing a lot of your how many, however many patients? 49 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,079 Speaker 1: You have hundreds of patients. A lot of them were 50 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,480 Speaker 1: already with you and then just moved over to the 51 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,680 Speaker 1: concierge practice when you changed over to that. 52 00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,600 Speaker 3: Ah, yes, sir, so a lot of them are originally 53 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 3: patient for a long time. And then most of my 54 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 3: growth over the last six seven years has been through 55 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 3: word of mouth from either family members, spouses, friends, and 56 00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: that's how it's grown. And you know it was one thing, Michael, 57 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 3: I meant to say earlier, as you know you mentioned before, 58 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,720 Speaker 3: is that for me? I think it's I had two 59 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 3: older doctors who are my mentors who are now passed, 60 00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,440 Speaker 3: but it's we're basically as concierge doctors, old school doctors. 61 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:24,960 Speaker 3: It's back to the old style that you have that 62 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,000 Speaker 3: relationship you had your grandparents had with their doctors. 63 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: I think that's important. You know, when the NBAS took 64 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:38,000 Speaker 1: over the practices and started trying to wring money out 65 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 1: of them, which is what you do. It's it's it's business. 66 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: But but people people had. This wasn't business. This wasn't 67 00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: trying to make a few more pennies off a Coca 68 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: cola or a ticket to a concert with more fees. 69 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 1: This was this is intimate, man, especially when you have concerns. 70 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,160 Speaker 1: You know, you got a lump, you know what? What 71 00:03:55,160 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 1: what should I do? You you've got something wrong? You 72 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: know what? What is the point from which I can't 73 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 1: pass my bowels for twenty four hours becomes forty eight? 74 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: What's the point where there's a danger zone? You know, 75 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: there's there's there's shame, there's it's raw and and these 76 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,280 Speaker 1: are the kind of things that you want to trust 77 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: the person you're talking to. And I think that more 78 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: than anything else, more even than the dollars and cents, 79 00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 1: I think that matters to people. 80 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 3: I agree. I mean, I think, you know, to a 81 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,320 Speaker 3: lot of degree, I'm as much of a therapist at 82 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 3: times to my patients as I am their doctor because 83 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 3: they can come to me for anything, and I really 84 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,719 Speaker 3: tell them, you know, some of them hesitate to actually 85 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:34,839 Speaker 3: contact me because they don't want to take up my time. 86 00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:36,800 Speaker 3: And I'm like, look, if you have a problem, you 87 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 3: need to let me know because I can't help you 88 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 3: if I if I don't know, and I mean, it's 89 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 3: it's you know, it's again one of the things I 90 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 3: like to say, it's you know, a lot of doctors 91 00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: think that it's a privilege for a patient to see them. 92 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 3: For me, I like to always say that it's a 93 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 3: privilege for me. 94 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 2: To be able to take care of them. 95 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: Well, you are in a situation. A lot of doctors 96 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: are not. Your bedside manner is fantastic because you are. 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: You are very social, very easy to communicate. You like people, 98 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,800 Speaker 1: You're interested in people. I think a lot of doctors, 99 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 1: traditionally before this was such an important thing. We're all 100 00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 1: about the science and the healing. And I find when 101 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: people say so and so is a great doctor, they 102 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: don't know how well he cuts when they're under anesthesia. 103 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: They don't know how well he recognizes, you know, this 104 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: lump or that they know that he's likable, and likability 105 00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:31,840 Speaker 1: is key in your politician and your doctor in all 106 00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: of it. How do folks reach you, Will Davis? 107 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 3: So they most of the time they will text me. 108 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:41,360 Speaker 1: And it is the general public.

Other 170 00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 1: people are making money by loaning you money. You should 171 00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,840 Speaker 1: make money off investments from day one, but it's something 172 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: you have to think about ahead of time. Nobody comes 173 00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: to your desk and signs you up and says, all right, 174 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: here are some good investments. Here's how to diversify your portfolio. 175 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: Here has historically been the return on this type of investment, 176 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,240 Speaker 1: and this is what you'll want to do in you 177 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:40,520 Speaker 1: to figure it out. You got to figure it all out, 178 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 1: but you got to know that this is going to 179 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: be more important than a lot of other things that 180 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,959 Speaker 1: people spend a lot of time doing. I know people 181 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:55,520 Speaker 1: who don't have a penny invested, don't have a single 182 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 1: relationship with a doctor, but they can tell you every 183 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: detail so soon as are my friends, they can tell 184 00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:05,720 Speaker 1: you every detail of the woman Bill Belichick is with 185 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: and they're scandalized, and they've watched every podcast with every 186 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,559 Speaker 1: opinion and oh my god, and she said to shut 187 00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 1: the interview down and she wasn't going to answer how 188 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:16,200 Speaker 1: they met, and can you believe this? But I know 189 00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:18,959 Speaker 1: they met at that Okay, if that's how you want 190 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,559 Speaker 1: to spend your time, that's fine. But I can live 191 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: life without worrying about Bill Belichick who he's having sex with, 192 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: which is really weird while you're that obsessed with it. 193 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 1: But what I try to take care of is things 194 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 1: that I know are coming, and that is financial needs 195 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: and health care. And you're only going to put that 196 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,720 Speaker 1: off for so long, there will come a time you 197 00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,800 Speaker 1: need it. So why not start doing the research now? 198 00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,960 Speaker 1: Why not start having conversations? I think it's very important, 199 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: doctor Steelman. Hell, all right, So what do you find 200 00:10:54,960 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: most your patients find most rewarding about being in this 201 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,599 Speaker 1: concierge practice? 202 00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:08,680 Speaker 4: So the I mean, it's it's really individual what they're 203 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 4: looking for. We see a lot of different paces of 204 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 4: different uh, you know, needs, But the biggest thing is 205 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 4: just having access to a doctor is not rushed and 206 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 4: mostly that we're very independent and not influenced by insurance 207 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,199 Speaker 4: or by government you know, requirements and things like that. 208 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 4: So we we operate outside of any of that insurance influence. 209 00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: And how does that matter practically speaking? 210 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's actually really really easy to see 211 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,400 Speaker 4: and we're very very transparent. That's the first thing is 212 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:47,920 Speaker 4: that in healthcare, one one of the bigger problems that 213 00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 4: we have is that nobody knows how much anything costs. 214 00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 4: So with our practice, we make a big emphasis on 215 00:11:53,880 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 4: being very transparent. You see the actual prices with us, 216 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 4: and everything that you get through us after your you know, 217 00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,679 Speaker 4: paying the membership fee is wholesale. It is exactly the 218 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 4: price that the market pays, so we pay cash for things, 219 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:11,680 Speaker 4: and we can generally get labs, imaging, medication supplements, things 220 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 4: like that. About a tense the price. 221 00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,760 Speaker 1: Right because we're cutting out the silly, silly, silly insurance scam. 222 00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: And that's the one. So what's interesting about that is 223 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 1: people say they want truth, but for most politicians other 224 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:32,599 Speaker 1: than Trump, they don't want the truth. They want the 225 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,480 Speaker 1: political talk. They want everybody wants to believe that. You know, 226 00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:38,920 Speaker 1: what I want to be the case is what he 227 00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:43,240 Speaker 1: wants to be the case. And he wouldn't tell me otherwise. Well, 228 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: it's funny. People don't't talk about money. But if you 229 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,680 Speaker 1: put a sign up front and it says this is 230 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:53,320 Speaker 1: what it's going to cost, I think that's jarring for people. 231 00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: And I think that's partly become because they've grown accustomed 232 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: to pretending that that's not going to happen, that there's 233 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 1: not going to be a charge. If we don't think 234 00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: about it, we put it off. If I don't think 235 00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 1: about the exam on Thursday, I don't have to study 236 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,439 Speaker 1: for it today and it won't bother me. It won't 237 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: cause me any any concern. But it's the only industry 238 00:13:13,480 --> 00:13:16,640 Speaker 1: I know of where you go, you go in the 239 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: services rendered, and later you find out how much it costs. 240 00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:23,800 Speaker 1: Imagine going to lone Star Chevy, you go see Mike 241 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: bachiss a GM, you decide which one you want without 242 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 1: any regard to what anything costs. I really like that 243 00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 1: when you drive off and three weeks letter you get 244 00:13:31,320 --> 00:13:32,839 Speaker 1: a letter that you owe x amount of money and 245 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: you had no idea what. You hope it won't be bad, 246 00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:41,800 Speaker 1: but you have no It's just insanity, that's true. 247 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:46,400 Speaker 4: Agree, so our you know one example we had just 248 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,160 Speaker 4: I mean this is every single week for us, but 249 00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:53,360 Speaker 4: we had one patient come in for sick labs. They 250 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:56,520 Speaker 4: had been thrown up and real thick for about a 251 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 4: week or so, and we send them off. 252 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:58,080 Speaker 2: For a lab. 253 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,679 Speaker 4: We have a national GPO contract to get our labs 254 00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:07,880 Speaker 4: a full comprehensive panel to get them straight. Was twenty 255 00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 4: one dollars with up and cash price with insurance with 256 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:14,520 Speaker 4: three hundred and eighty three bucks. I mean, that's there's 257 00:14:14,559 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 4: there's no question where the value is. 258 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 1: Well, what people people may not know is when you 259 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,960 Speaker 1: go to your doctor, there are very likely as many people, 260 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: if not more, in a back office who are handling paperwork, 261 00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: fighting with insurance companies all day long and trying to 262 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,520 Speaker 1: get what service they delivered to you which you needed. 263 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: Then you were sick, then forget how important that was. 264 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,760 Speaker 1: You get healthy and you go, I know you needed 265 00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:50,360 Speaker 1: it then, And that's not the delivery of medicine. That 266 00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:54,080 Speaker 1: is simp that is stupid paperwork. You know. We went 267 00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: to San Antoni this weekend, brought my brother in law 268 00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,320 Speaker 1: and sister in law, my wife's sister and her husband, 269 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 1: and they live in a and we were planning the 270 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: next day what time we needed to leave, because where 271 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:08,520 Speaker 1: we needed to be, because we had reservations, and they said, 272 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: and I said, we'll leave thirty minutes before we're to 273 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,840 Speaker 1: be at LaFond of the restaurant because it's fifteen minutes away. 274 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: And they said, oh, so we need to be down 275 00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:20,040 Speaker 1: at eight thirty instead of nine thirty. And I said, 276 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 1: why would you need to do that and they said, well, 277 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: we need to check out probably it's busy. So I'm 278 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: figuring what what should it take forty five minutes to 279 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: check out? I said, no, you don't check out, you 280 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 1: just walk out? We do you mean you can't? And 281 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,800 Speaker 1: because in India and they learned this from the British. 282 00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,600 Speaker 1: Everything you stand in line to get a document to 283 00:15:36,640 --> 00:15:39,400 Speaker 1: get into the next line, and somebody signs it and 284 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: they don't review. It's just all of this rigmarole for 285 00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,680 Speaker 1: no good reason. It doesn't help heal people. And to 286 00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: be able to cut through that, I can't imagine how 287 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,960 Speaker 1: much that helps your bottom line because now you don't 288 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: have to have all this staff to deal with the 289 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,640 Speaker 1: insurance company and all the things that go with that. 290 00:15:56,640 --> 00:16:00,000 Speaker 1: That's got to be so much more rewarding for you. 291 00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, when we started putting the business together, the billing 292 00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 4: companies take five or ten percent off the top from 293 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 4: from any money you're making the business, So that's automatically 294 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 4: a much better business relationship. 295 00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:21,440 Speaker 1: So well, good for you, doctor Steelman. Thanks for being 296 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:25,720 Speaker 1: our guest seven one three one thousand. I would like 297 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 1: to hear from someone who has switched over to Concierge's 298 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: Care and what they thought of it. We didn't get 299 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: nothing the hard time to Michael Show, it's a damn shame. 300 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 6: It's a damn shame. 301 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: It's a damn shame. It's a damn shame. All Right, 302 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,520 Speaker 1: we've got folks on the line who have concierge care 303 00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,320 Speaker 1: response and when we get to those in just a moment. 304 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,360 Speaker 1: I did want to make sure we got in today 305 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: because Fox has gone wall to wall. I don't know 306 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: what the others are doing, but everyone is excited over 307 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 1: the papal conclave of the big vote today from your 308 00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: Catholic do y all gather around the TV like it's 309 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,960 Speaker 1: an NFL draft because they're showing each of the candidates, 310 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 1: and they show he's like a baseball card. They show 311 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 1: his photo in the country he's from, and who appointed him. 312 00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 1: I'm going to get so many emails from people who 313 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 1: are upset. And you know what I find funny about this, 314 00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:24,720 Speaker 1: I mean just hilarious in the most biting way. Michael, 315 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: I can't believe you were being disrespectful to Catholics. You 316 00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 1: view my reaction to what I'm watching as disrespectful to you. 317 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 1: I didn't realize you were involved in that. I'm a Catholic. Oh, 318 00:17:47,720 --> 00:17:50,679 Speaker 1: you play for that team, So since you play for 319 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:54,680 Speaker 1: that team, I'm supposed to pretend I think this whole 320 00:17:54,720 --> 00:18:01,439 Speaker 1: thing is normal. I'm watching grown men parade around and 321 00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 1: elect the next most powerful person, one of the most 322 00:18:05,359 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: powerful people in the world. Who's going to offer opinions 323 00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:15,439 Speaker 1: on America's immigration policies. It's completely alien to me. I 324 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,239 Speaker 1: know nothing about it. That's not true. But well, how 325 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,680 Speaker 1: about this. If I were to show you a Muslim event, 326 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: do you think it would be fair for your boss, employee, 327 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: or neighbor to be upset at you because you think 328 00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: that having a prayer on a busy street in New 329 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:43,560 Speaker 1: York early in the morning before people are up, and 330 00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,840 Speaker 1: you think that's ridiculous and absurd. Does that mean that 331 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,199 Speaker 1: every Muslim should be mad at you, even though they 332 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:54,520 Speaker 1: live in La they're Shia and that Sunni. Stop this nonsense. 333 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:57,199 Speaker 1: You don't have anything to do with that. And by 334 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 1: the way, it's kind of funny. If you're not part 335 00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:00,800 Speaker 1: of it, it's kind of funny.

I thought in prayer you 511 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: went and you saw it. I thought you gathered in 512 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,000 Speaker 1: the church for a reason other than to be told 513 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:58,680 Speaker 1: what to think. You know, we translated the Bible into 514 00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,680 Speaker 1: the languages of the people so that we could read it, 515 00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,840 Speaker 1: and we don't have to have a god man telling 516 00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 1: us what it says. You are aware of that, right, 517 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I was talking about Concierra's healthy care. Deep breath, Wayne, 518 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,640 Speaker 1: You're on the Michael berriersh oh hey, wait, wait when 519 00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: what I was trying to get out and then I 520 00:28:19,280 --> 00:28:21,439 Speaker 1: get off on these stupid tangents. I don't know why 521 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:23,400 Speaker 1: I do that. It's so irritating it makes me mad. 522 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:27,240 Speaker 1: Is get your baselines folk. You ought to know what 523 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: your BP is, what your heart rate is, what your 524 00:28:31,800 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: diabetes pre markers are, your testosterone. You ought to know 525 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:39,800 Speaker 1: all that stuff. I get it all tested once a year. 526 00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 1: That way, when you go into the doctor and he goes, 527 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 1: WHOA your A one C is here? Well maybe it's 528 00:28:45,480 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 1: always been that way. You'd be surprised how many people 529 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: have bad markers, but they've had bad markers. Since they 530 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,760 Speaker 1: were thirteen, they got bad genes. What you're looking at 531 00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: is trend lines. You want to know whether that's going 532 00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,320 Speaker 1: up or down or remaining flat. And you got to 533 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 1: have a base level when you're healthy to get to 534 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:06,000 Speaker 1: that point. All right, Wayne, thank you for waiting so long. 535 00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: I appreciate that. Why did you switch to conciers, Karen, 536 00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:09,720 Speaker 1: how's that going for you? 537 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,600 Speaker 5: Well? She she used to be a rigor I guess 538 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,680 Speaker 5: you call her a grigor practitioner, and then she said 539 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,720 Speaker 5: she was moving over and you know, man, that's kind 540 00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 5: of expensive. So she gave me information for another doctor 541 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,880 Speaker 5: and I went to him, but I didn't like him. 542 00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:27,000 Speaker 5: I mean it just he seemed like he was kind 543 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 5: of like rush me in and rushed me out, and 544 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 5: I didn't like that. So I went back to her after, 545 00:29:32,280 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 5: you know, a couple of months, and I love it. 546 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:40,360 Speaker 5: I mean, she's it's a female, and she would she 547 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:43,160 Speaker 5: didn't even called check up on me. I could call 548 00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 5: her if I needed something or if I had a problem, 549 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,400 Speaker 5: or they'd get me in that day, you know, And 550 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 5: I think it's all worth it, I really do. 551 00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: You know, you said something very interesting. People want really 552 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:02,480 Speaker 1: really good and really really cheap, and it's going to 553 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,160 Speaker 1: be one of the other almost always, almost always, you 554 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 1: can fool yourself otherwise. And I find it fascinating that 555 00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:13,640 Speaker 1: people will. You know, I went on this carnival cruise 556 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:16,560 Speaker 1: and it was terrible. Why'd you go? It was cheap. 557 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 1: It was cheap for the other people too. Sometimes we 558 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:27,360 Speaker 1: price things, we bake into an inflated price, keeping other 559 00:30:27,440 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: people out. Now, I'll give you an example. The toll 560 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 1: road authority is an absolute and utter scam. They've collected 561 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: more money than it takes. They have more money that 562 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,520 Speaker 1: they could pay it off right now. But then people 563 00:30:39,560 --> 00:30:42,239 Speaker 1: would say, stop charging me the toll. It's a very 564 00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:45,320 Speaker 1: difficult situation because there's so much fraud and corruption going 565 00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: on over there, just awful fraud and corruption. However, let's 566 00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,640 Speaker 1: say you started a new toll road tomorrow and you 567 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:55,040 Speaker 1: charged a dollar to get on it. People say, I 568 00:30:55,120 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: want to drive, pay a dollar, pay my taxes already. 569 00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,720 Speaker 1: But we built this on the basis of an income stream, 570 00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:06,120 Speaker 1: which is the toll. What nobody understands is paying a 571 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 1: dollar is a way to keep everybody else off of it. 572 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,680 Speaker 1: We go on an exclusive vacation or we eat a 573 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:16,400 Speaker 1: fancy restaurant, or this is the one we do every day. 574 00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 1: We all move into the neighborhood with the least crime. Well, 575 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 1: guess what. The neighborhood with the least crime is not 576 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 1: the lowest priced neighborhood. It's the highest price neighborhood. And 577 00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,800 Speaker 1: factored into that driving the price more than anything else, 578 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:40,479 Speaker 1: more than size, finishes, lot, schools, anything else, is crime rate. 579 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:45,320 Speaker 1: That's the way it works. That's why places like wes 580 00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:51,360 Speaker 1: West University or south Side Place or the villages have 581 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 1: incredibly high prices. They have their own police department. That's serious. 582 00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:01,960 Speaker 1: Riverroaks Police, Riverroaks patrol. Ropo guy was breaking into houses 583 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,720 Speaker 1: the other night. Ropo actually carries a gun shot and 584 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:09,400 Speaker 1: killed a bastard. Good be done with him. So you 585 00:32:09,480 --> 00:32:13,400 Speaker 1: also have to understand that sometimes you pay a little more. Well, 586 00:32:13,440 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 1: everybody wants to pour mount. People will tell me I 587 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: can't afford that. You're driving one hundred thousand, brand new, 588 00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:21,600 Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars truck. You just bought a boat. 589 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: You can afford a lot of things you don't want 590 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,200 Speaker 1: to pay for that. There's a big difference. I want 591 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: really nice stuff, but I don't want to pay for it. Okay, 592 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,880 Speaker 1: how does that work? If you want exclusivity, you have 593 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:40,240 Speaker 1: to pay for exclusivity. Now, the guy making eight dollars 594 00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: an hour, he can't afford that that much. Is true, 595 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: that's a fact. But you're not that guy. Stop acting 596 00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:50,080 Speaker 1: like you are by paying more for the concierges that 597 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,280 Speaker 1: goes directly to the doctor. You heard what will David said, 598 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 1: he viewed he gets five to ten patients a day 599 00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,520 Speaker 1: instead of thirty five. See when you go to the 600 00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: doctor and you're waiting forever because it's stacked up, and 601 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:07,200 Speaker 1: then you're in and out real quick. You could have 602 00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: paid a little more. Ten of you could have paid 603 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 1: more so that the doctor could only have to see 604 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 1: ten of you. Oh no, I want that practice where 605 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:19,520 Speaker 1: the NBA owns it and he's got to run as 606 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: many people through there as possible. The doctor doesn't enjoy 607 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: that either. Well, here's an option. You pay a little 608 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,320 Speaker 1: more to go. I don't have any money, because that's 609 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: what people do. Everybody wants a deal. Everybody wants to 610 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: pay less. I can't afford it. When I sit down 611 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,200 Speaker 1: with people and start talking about what you can and 612 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: cannot afford, you can afford this, you just can't also 613 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,880 Speaker 1: afford that. And there's a lot of other stuff that 614 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: you afford that are probably not as important to you 615 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:48,560 Speaker 1: as having a good doctor. But hey, Sarah, you waited forever, sweetheart, 616 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: Take us to the break. Why did you switch in? 617 00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:55,200 Speaker 9: How do you like it? I just need to go 618 00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:58,600 Speaker 9: see it doctor, Hell yeah. 619 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 1: Go ahead, you got it to the break. It's all you. 620 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,840 Speaker 9: Oh okay, my insurance actually covered it. And the doctor 621 00:34:06,920 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 9: the first time I talked to her, she said, your 622 00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,359 Speaker 9: body is screaming to you. Let's see what it's trying 623 00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,160 Speaker 9: to say. She drew labs. I left with the referral 624 00:34:13,200 --> 00:34:16,719 Speaker 9: to mammogram, a referral to deritologists for a mole. She 625 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,759 Speaker 9: found that I was anemic, and then she sent me 626 00:34:19,920 --> 00:34:22,919 Speaker 9: to get an ultrasound on my uners to make sure 627 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 9: that that's not why I'm anemic. But she's covering all 628 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 9: of her bases, and I've just never felt like anybody's 629 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,120 Speaker 9: had gotten a clear picture of my physical health. 630 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: You didn't have anything wrong with your gew to us, 631 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: did you. 632 00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:35,480 Speaker 9: I don't know yet. 633 00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:40,040 Speaker 1: Oh okay, and the mole you don't know. Well, good luck, sir. 634 00:34:40,160 --> 00:34:41,840 Speaker 1: I'm glad you called good luck to your sweetheart.
