Who We AreWe at Vermont Housecalls feel that Patients come first and deserve the utmost respect. They should not be inconvenienced or made to wait for hours in a clinical office only to be seen for 5 minutes and rushed out. At Vermont Housecalls, your Healthcare is focused on you; your well-being, comfort and convenience are our primary concern.
We believe managing your healthcare is both an honor and a privilege. We believe in treating "the whole person", not just "medical conditions". Medical care should be a comfortable, healing experience between the provider and the patient. Vermont Housecalls is the brain-child of our founding provider William Goodwin, FNP. "The American Healthcare industry has lost its way," he states. "Instead of being all about the patient, it has somehow become all about money. I seems like every doctor's office focuses on maximum through-put and profits. They only give their patients 15 minutes and charge hundreds of dollars. Insurance companies charge high premiums, then have huge deductibles or deny coverage. In a very real sense, they now dictate treatment. "I put medical decision making back with the patient and the provider where it belongs. "Patients need a trusted ally looking out for their best interests. I give them pragmatic medical advice and guidance they can understand with confidence. "People are not numbers to me, and they shouldn't be treated that way by anyone. "I'm doing my part to bring real country medicine back to the people of my beloved Vermont." |
