Fischer Neurology Associates

They are not cash friendly. This is why medical care is so ridiculously expensive in the US. There are no prices, no competition, and no choice. Only insurance.
I spoke of having very specific symptoms, proposed a specific condition (there aren’t any clinical entities with the same symptoms) and wanted to try a specific medication to see if it would have any effect. Something that could have been seen in a couple of days, a week at most. They spoke of expensive tests. Not test, but tests!
I once had a car problem. I asked the mechanic how much to put in a fuel pump. He balked at giving me a price, put me on hold twice, and basically called me a idiot because I thought I could diagnose the problem myself. In other words, he wanted hundreds of additional dollars to do a diagnosis. Well, I bought a new pump on eBay for $ 20, including shipping, and put it in myself. Saved myself at least $ 700, and my car problem was fixed!
If I could have simply walked into a pharmacy and bought the stuff — non addictive, not dangerous when compared to a hundred other things I could buy — I would have been much better off. But, of course, that would interfere with the bags of money monopoly, and the secret agreement between doctors and politicians.
You need a primary referral, even though a primary care doctor most likely knows nothing about your complaint. And would just be a waste of time and money. Essentially to see one doctor for ten minutes, you have to spend at least $ 150 and a week of your time setting up an appointment. Then, of course, you have to set up your second appointment, which will probably take several weeks. There goes a big chunk of your life! Meanwhile, you are still suffering from your complaint. Utterly, ridiculous!
