I was visiting Barbara Phillip’s Facebook site and noticed a question that was presented regarding collaborating MD and NP’s working together and the concern about stealing their patients. This is a valid concern when one has already established a practice and needs someone to take the edge off due to a volume of new patients. In fact, this is the exact scenario that is occurring in the office I work at now. The following reply is what I said on Barb’s facebook.<\/p>\n

I think that you cannot steal a patient who is totally satisfied with their care. I have a new MD coming into the office in a few weeks and my patients are concerned that they will be made to see him instead of me which is not true. He gets the new patients and I keep mine. I see my other collaborating MD’s patients if he is not available and he does the same for me. A few have switched from his side to me and vice versa but not enough to concern me. If I saw a a drastic move over, I would have to seriously evaluate my practice technique. We use anonymous surveys at the office in order to ascertain patient satisfaction good or bad.<\/p>\n

What do you think about “stealing patients”? Do you think that it’s really effecting MDs who hire NPs?<\/p>\n
