Are you sick and tired of running on the pediatric
treadmill?
Recent studies have confirmed what you
already know – that due to declining reimbursements and rising
malpractice premiums, incomes have fallen over the past decade.
As a result, most pediatricians feel they have no choice but to
cut appointment times and increase the volume of patients –
sometimes up to as many as 40 per day.
“The
great danger is that you stop caring. The goal of each day and each
night is simply to move everyone through, to clear the decks, rather
than to deliberately and expertly care for those who need it and
reassure those who do not.”

The Personal Pediatrics
Solution: Reinvent the Lost Art of House Call Medicine
Using 21st Century Technology.
Personal Pediatrics was founded by St.
Louis-based pediatrician Natalie Hodge, MD, a mother of 3 who spent
more than a decade running on the treadmill of a high-volume pediatric
practice.
Extensive research led Dr. Hodge to
a clear conviction: That combining the traditional benefits of house
call medicine with the advantages of state-of-the-art technology
would result in a dramatic improvement in healthcare for children
– and in the income and lifestyles of pediatricians.
Today, Personal Pediatrics is proud
to provide an innovative system that makes house call-based pediatric
medicine an excellent supplement or alternative to your office-based
practice.
