I contacted Dr. Jenesn and I have a pre-consultation with him on Thursday.
I have to set up a time when he can talk to my regular doctor.
I'm very excited.
I hope this works!Thanks for your advice!

So even though it's more expensive, I tighten my belt in other places to be able to afford to write a check for services outside the HMO. At first I thought the $300 was a lot. But actually, every initial pdoc visit I've had cost about the same. Fifteen minute visits in my area cost $75 to $80, so Jensen's fees are really no different than anyone else. He just knows what he's doing a lot more than most others.

If your doctor has objections to Jensen's approach, email Jensen and let him know. At your request he will call your doctor personally to address any concerns. He's quite professional and mild mannered. JohnL
