Wake Internal Medicine Consultants does not accept Medicare assignment, so the make you pay at the…read moretime of service, file the claim, and (theoretically) Medicare reimburses you with a check later. I saw my Dr. on April 21 for a mid-year exam, and they made me pay $129.12 at that appointment. But when they filed the insurance claim, they told Medicare and my Blue Cross supplementary insurer to reimburse them. So they collected twice! By July 17, my Medicare and Blue Cross statements showed the disbursement to Wake Internal Medicine Consultants, so I call Medicare and Blue Cross...both of them said the submitted claim indicated that Wake Internal Medicine should receive payment. I then contacted Wake Internal Medicine Consultants and spoke to Emily, who claimed that she looked at the claim and it did not indicate that payment should go to Wake Internal Medicine Consultants. But she agreed to refund what I'd paid at the time of the visit, and said it would be done ASAP. It's now August 1. I've heard nothing, haven't received the check...looks like I'm going to have to take legal measures to set this right. Sad, but after this I'm finding a different primary care practice.

The second was for my new patient physical. She is by far the most comprehensive doctor I have ever seen! She took the time to review my entire medical history, address any/all concerns I had, AND was genuinely interested in who I was as a person. Seriously, when do you ever get that from a doctor??? On top of that, she followed up with me after hours on several issues and took the time to find my prescriptions at the lowest cost possible. Really??? No doctor ever does that. Dr. Inaam J. Schneider does. If you are concerned about ObamaCare and the changes coming or if you are like us and just couldn't afford the new Marketplace pricing, go to Dr. Schneider. I am now convinced the DPC model is the way to go!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Inaam last week and I must say I feel like I have a true…read morepartner in my quest for the best health possible. Maria (Dr. Schneider's staff) was helpful and cheerful from the moment I walked in and Dr. Schnieder spent more than an hour and half with me, listening and responding to my medical history. Dr. Inaam is knowledgeable, yet humble. In my experience, humility is a rarity in the medical community. Here's how I know this about her: It's really difficult to draw my blood. My veins are small and deep, and I can't tell you how many times I've left a blood draw and had bruises on the insides of both elbows for days. When Dr. Inaam and Maria didn't immediately find a good vein, they didn't poke and poke. They didn't even poke once! They gave me two bottle of water to drink to see whether hydration would help. When it didn't, they sent me to LabCorp where someone who draws blood all day every day quickly tapped a vein and got the blood necessary for my tests. There were many good things about my visit, but that was the thing that sealed the deal and made me sure Dr. Inaam is the right doctor for me.

I went for HRT. I had an in-depth battery of tests to determine a baseline for my health. They were…read moregood at reviewing all the details of my bloodwork. Spent an entire hour with me, but the tests cost thousands of dollars and that does not include ongoing care. I paid $600 per quarter plus $150 for 90 days of compounded hormones for a year. First they wanted to cut a small slot to insert a pellet in my lower back, but I said no. We did cream roll on instead. I felt better on hormones, but to monitor them, had to take a spit test via snail mail only to discover they didn't have any enough of a sample. Then they wanted me to pay an extra $150 for bloodwork each time since the spit test didn't work. Felt like nickel and diming. They do not take insurance. When I had a side effect from the hormones they told me I needed to sign up for primary care in order for them to help me. Just doesn't make sense for them to receive so much money and then not help a patient in need. If you're someone with lots of different health issues, it might be good to get care from them, because they can review all the data together. They still refer you to specialists, which is a separate process with separate fees. An endocrinologist can prescribe and monitor hormone treatment. It's not rocket science. It wasn't a miracle drug. My skin still ages, elasticity declines, there is a risk of cancer if you don't take the right combo and don't start early enough, but mentally it's been good. Good doctors are out there. Most people don't need a concierge. After having one, I must say I'm not healthier, but it's nice to get more attention.

Your satisfaction depends on whether you can afford to see them. Would I recommend them? Yes. Is it…read moreworth paying thousands per year to see them? I'm not sure. I go for HRT therapy, and I see the doc once every 3 months for an hour. Bloodwork is done each time, so we talk about dosage. Combos are done by compounding Rx. So it's 600 for a hr of doc time/bloodwork, plus cost of hormones. You can contact doc via portal and they will respond, which is nice, but if you have no issues, you may not need to go here. If you're a basket case, you'll get your money's worth. If I have a primary care issue, they'll tell me to sign up for that, which costs more. Why they don't have full-care for all issues is beyond me. I can only afford one, and I need hormones, so that's what I get. I still need a primary care provider for everything else. Make sure you find out which days docs are at your preferred office. You can get an in-depth full-health analysis for 2k, and it was worth it to find out I was healthy.

You're also able to complete forms there, which is what I did for my appointment. Check-in was quick. I waited for about 5 minutes past my scheduled appointment time & the Tamesha, a medical assistant came to get me from the lobby. She was very sweet & friendly & was quick during my "pre-screen/check-in" process. I waited for about 20 minutes for my doctor, which I didn't really like, but they were busy, so I was OK. Dr. Rooker came in & she is bubbly & friendly. I adore her! We chatted like old friends. I really feel comfortable with her & she has good bedside manner. She didn't rush my visit either. I'm really happy with this medical practice.
