It's Performance Pediatrics' 10th Anniversary!

Dear Patients,
This year we are celebrating 10 years in practice on Aldrin Road in Plymouth!
Back in 2006, when my commitment to the Air Force ended, I opened my ideal micro-practice. At the time, there were many voices who told me it can't be done. No one, they said, opens a solo practice in this day and age and no one gets to spend more than 5 - 10 minutes with each patient.
Ten years later I'm happy to report those voices were wrong.
It's not that it's been easy, but I am proud of our ability to stay true to our vision: To establish lifelong healthy habits in childhood. When most pediatricians see 20 - 30 patient each day, I only see 10 - 15 giving me the time needed to give complete care.
I am also proud that we've been able to deliver concierge-level care without charging patients an annual membership fee. All we ask is that patients arrive for appointments and pay all balances on time. In return we are able to also run on time and give your children the primary care they need.
As we look to the future we believe that we are small and agile enough to adapt to whatever challenges the healthcare industry throws our way. Ten years in, I happily recommit to the mission that I set in 2006:
To support our patients as they fulfill their individual physical, developmental and emotional health potential through medicine, education and example.
Be Well,
Dr. McAllister

For ten years we've used this patient newsletter to share
health-care news with families and make it relevant to our community. In the past year or so it has become obvious to us that most of you follow us on Facebook and, in truth, Facebook is a better way to quickly communicate with parents about everything from the availability of flu vaccine to critical changes with Massachusetts health insurance. For this reason, this will be our final newsletter. Going forward we will post even more information and opinion on our Facebook page.
Thank you for being a part of the Performance Pediatrics family!
