Orange Beach Family Medicine - Ryan Forbess, MD

🍊Personalized, convenient, comprehensive care is something you dont realize you want or need, until you have it.
🍊Orange Beach Family Medicine is not a typical clinic, where you get far less than adequate time, and then pushed out. Medicine can be done better. It SHOULD be done better.
🍊It’s inexpensive, and you’ll be in the MDVIP network when you’re traveling as well! Most importantly you can always reach Dr. Forbess directly after hours.

Hi, everyone! Toni Forbess here. We’ve recently come to understand that Baldwin Health (formerly South Baldwin) is contacting patients to schedule with Dr. Forbess again. Many of you are confused and have asked about it, as the correspondence directs you to Baldwin Health, and Dr. Forbess has not been affiliated with South Baldwin for many years now.

Please disregard it if you’re under the impression that it’s a message from Orange Beach Family Medicine. It is not. It might be a technical issue they’ve not resolved yet.

Thanks guys! If you’re not a patient currently, you’re always welcome to swing by the office and talk to Forbess about the program. He’ll take the time to answer questions. Stay healthy and God bless! ❤️

Both doctors and patients report major frustration with their primary care experiences, prompting them to explore new innovative healthcare models that drive stronger connections and better health outcomes. 💪🏽

Doctors feel your pain! MDVIP today released the results of a national study which highlights the ill effects of America's broken healthcare system on primary care physicians.👨🏼‍⚕️👩🏽‍⚕️ Long waits for appointments that end up short and impersonal is not only frustrating patients – but stressing doctors, too.

Some of the striking findings:

💡78% of doctors would spend more time uncovering the root cause of patient issues if their professional life allowed

💡62% feel their interactions with patients have become more transactional than relational

💡57% often find themselves writing prescriptions or referring to specialists due to time constraints
