This last weekend, I attended a summit by the  AAPP (American Academy of Private Physicians) in Austin, Texas.  The meeting provided great networking opportunities and information for physicians who are interested in starting their own private medical practice. We learned from a panel of physicians of various backgrounds about their private practices and some ways that they have made them successful.  It was encouraging to hear how the patients and physicians have found concierge/private practice to be restoring to the the doctor-patient relationship of past times – unbound by insurance companies and provider network constraints.
