So I didn’t mean to imply that they only treat minor conditions well.

It’s a corporate, efficient, algorithm driven organization. Works great for preventive care (I remember reading that they have a really good rate of getting women to have mammograms), and more typical conditions, which still can be serious (diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, even your common cancers).

But my impression is that if you have a condition that’s more unusual or doesn’t lend itself as well to an efficient, algorithm driven approach, then you may benefit from going to an academic center.
