Sign me up, too. Although I've just started, I am also doing open access. I've been open for one month now and generally, the concept is still catching on. Many people like to schedule in advance which I am doing, but my front desk person calls everyone the day before to confirm...anyone that needs to cancel, does and we are left with another open access spot. No screening necessary. Currently seeing about 5-8 pts per day. Thanks! -Scott -- Scott Graham, MD PA Uptown Family Medicine 1015 7th Avenue North St. Petersburg, FL 33705 Ph.
