What is Quality

Everyone has their own take on quality when it comes to healthcare. We all ultimately want the same outcome, but the means of getting to that outcome may vary. I personally think getting the best care at the lowest cost to me possible is a big factor in quality. If there are alternate methods that will heal or treat any condition I may have and they cost less than invasive procedures, I hope the medical professional will make me aware of that. I also like people friendly services. We have all encountered the person who seems to be quite over doing the work they are involved in; as it has become mundane and routine, losing all of emotion that may become entailed when caring for someone. My current doctor is great I would highly recommend him to any female looking for a gyno. My first meeting with him was actually to have a procedure done, but he sat and talked with me for twenty minutes and we came to an agreement to put off the procedure, which is quite invasive, for a few months, after he decided my condition at the time did not call for it. He asked me questions about me, my lifestyle, my past medical history and other things of his professional interest. At the same time, I was able to ask him questions and get thorough answers about things that concerned me. I have been back to the office for the follow-ups we discussed and he recognizes his patients and asks questions about their lives. He is the type of doctor, who wants his patients to be comfortable and know that they can come talk to him about concerns. His entire office is run smoothly in regards to nurses, MA's receptionists, etc. They are efficient and effective in the delivery of my care and I think that proves to be great quality.
