The first time I made an appointment at a civilian pediatric practice, saw the doctor in 15 minutes, wrote a check for $35 (it was a while ago ...), and got the prescription filled at the grocery store, I thought I'd died and gone to heaven.



It's about $75 now. If it's the cold and flu season expect an overbooking or a two day wait. My general time in - time out is approx. 2 hours or more.

First time visit is between $110 to $175 depending on the physician's practice/specialty.

PA at Walmart charged $45--first time visit was a total of 45 minutes with all the filling out forms garbage. Tests are grouped and they have special prices for screenings, blood work, etc. which is sent off to the same lab the local doc uses. Results are given to you and you are directed to the proper specialist(s) rather than to a mega-clinic's Dr. Nick (Simpson's Dr. Nick) wanna-be.

I swear by it.
