One Medical Group

Oh, the age of the internet. Some business really embrace it, others somehow are stuck in the days of the telephone.
While I loved my NP (Christy Collinson — THE BEST) and doctor at Bayspring Medical Group, I hated that I had to call and wait forever on hold to make appointments. There was zero option to make an appointment online, and it was especially frustrating when I’d call and they’d be like HI WE’RE ON LUNCH LOLZ CALL BACK LATER BYE.
So on Cyber Monday, I joined One Medical Group. Do I hate paying excess fees for things? Of course I do — I’m not CCG for no reason. But with a 40% off discount, I figured why not try it out? My friends who are members love it, I’m sick of waiting until after the receptionists take their lunch to make an appointment (after waiting 10 minutes on hold, that is), and I CAN MAKE APPOINTMENTS ONLINE. From their app.
The Laurel Heights location was the only one that had openings available one morning, so I booked an appointment with a single touch on my phone, got there (if you go in the morning on a weekday, parking is easy — I found something not even 2 blocks away, unmetered) a few minutes early, and was called in exactly on the dot. This has never happened to me before. It’s like I’m in the twilight zone suddenly.
Do I now mind paying the yearly membership fee? Not at all, even at full price. Sure, I don’t go to the doctor’s office that often (knock on wood), but the times that I do need to, I can rest assured that scheduling an appointment is easy and fast, there are several locations for me to choose from, and I’ll be seen on time in a very nice facility.
CCG no more! At least for the doctor.
