Five years ago, Dr. Ivan Castro of Winter Park was miserable with the way medicine was going.
"I was constantly running behind to see the next patient and had to focus more on paperwork than on patient care," recalls Castro, 52.
That year, Castro changed his practice to the concierge model: Patients pay a retainer fee to their primary doctor -- usually $100 to $200 a month -- in exchange for round-the-clock access, quick appointments and more attention.
