Angel Sent

I don't have a specific moment or any one particular occurrence to celebrate with Dr. Alice Reed, my primary MDVIP physician. What I do have is years and years of stress free appointments and treatments administered by her.
I've been a patient of Dr. Reeds for decades. I was seeing her as my primary physician before she opted for an MDVIP practice; even before it was necessary to have a primary physician. I remember us discussing not only my health but the health of institutional care itself, when a physician had no time to really spend with patients and had to have a large practice to make a living. In so many words, Dr. Reed desired more time with her patients; to be able to adequately and understandably describe the need for whatever she was ordering and fully answer the many questions patients typically have. I recall the discussion with me and my wife about her transition to an MDVIP practice and what it would mean for us and her. That discussion --that moment of realization by me--is what stands out in my mind as being a turning in my increasing need for care, given my age and some maladies that were becoming apparent. Heretofore, I was becoming agitated and restless regarding appointments not being able to be kept on time; discussions not being able to be completed to my satisfaction; and my inability to reach out when needed and know I would get a timely response. Today, I tout Dr. Reed's relaxed but very critical and caring attention to my needs. She is always available within a reasonable time frame and always has a pleasant response even under dire circumstances. Her on-going support is never-ending. I'm so glad Dr. Reed has an MDVIP practice.
