I visited Dr. Imran Osmani yesterday for a new patient appointment. I was very impressed with everything about this health care facility.
The office is new, clean, and very modern looking. I was greeted warmly when I came in, and I only had to wait a few minutes after filling out the paperwork to get my vitals checked.
And just a few minutes later I was speaking with the Doctor. Maybe I just got lucky and they weren't that busy, but at other doctors I've had to wait 30 to 40 minutes to see the doctor after getting into the exam room.
Dr. Osmani is attentive, personable, and knowledgeable. I felt very comfortable talking to him, and I could see that he cared about what I had to say.
They drew blood for labs, and said I have results in 48 hours directly in a modern online patient portal.
All of this is really outstanding for a healthcare facility, but what I think is really great, is the spirit of what they are trying to do. I think that our healthcare system is broken, and the insurance industry is to blame. VivirMED has an upfront cash pricing structure, and the prices are reasonable. It is often cheaper to pay for labs out of pocket instead of going through insurance. It's likely that they get smaller reimbursements, but they are doing it to save the patient money and to be able to see patients who normally would be priced out of the healthcare market. They do accept insurance as well, and they have a subscription plan which seems very helpful if you find yourself at the doctor frequently. They are very innovative and potentially disruptive to the status quo of the insurance/healthcare industry, and that is a great thing!
VivirMED is an important service to the city of Aurora, and the doctors should be applauded for taking their medical experience and using it to really help people. read more
