I called to make an appt with Dr. Eliane Arata. I did my research and saw that she had great reviews. I reached a friendly receptionist by phone. I was told at the time that Dr. Arata was not accepting new patients that this time. I was disappointed but I asked if any other female doctors was accepting new patients? I was told there was 2 doctors HOWEVER I would need to be apart of the their concierge program. I inquired what that was and found out that I would have to pay $1800 out of pocket to the practice. In exchange for my $1800 I would receive longer appt. times, the doctors cell phone number, a longer physical and a few other amenities. I have good insurance but this fee is not covered by insurance. This sounded insane to me. I first thought she was kidding but then I realized she was serious. This is CRAZY and to me its a way to wean out low income patients. These medical practices are moving toward these type of services to drain the pockets of hard working Americans. Why get in the medical field if all your interested in is money. At first I actually thought about doing it but then I realized do I want to be apart of a practice that is only geared toward people who are willing to pay $1800 for special treatment. Sounds like a way for the wealthy to ensure they go to the doctors with people who look like them. Luckily I was able to find another primary care doctor was AMAZING and I still have my $1800.

I see Dr. Katz and Elaine Crain and don't have enough superlatives to describe the care that they provide. Highly recommend this practice!!!*****
