For more than 14 years, Dr. Robin Hall, a board-certified family physician, practiced medicine in a thriving practice in Colleyville, a vibrant community in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. She had more than 3,000 patients and a waiting room that was seldom quiet.

By most accounts, she was considered highly-successful and certainly a pillar in the community as she served on the boards of numerous groups with a direct impact on the quality of life for her patients, and herself. But, at the end of the day, something was missing.

That something was a true connection to her many patients and their well-being. How can you spend the time necessary, the true quality time, to talk to patients about their health and all of the factors like stress, their job situation, relationships and more that impact a person's health?

In fact, a doctor can't as the system and the economics at play demand less and less time for more and more patients. For Dr. Hall, it meant almost pre-determining a treatment before ever talking to the patient, and only then to confirm what she already suspected.

In 2005, Dr. Hall said "enough" and left the practice she founded. But now what? She needed to earn a living, but not at the expense of her patients health or her own. She did some investigating and learned about a new practice model called "concierge care" based on an annual patient retainer. Patients were treated as "out-of-network" by their regular insurance carrier, but it meant that Dr. Hall could spend the quality time necessary to understand a patient and their needs better than ever before.

So, in 2006, Dr. Hall "bet the ranch" so to speak and opened a new practice called Destination Health. She had no patients and no income, but she did have one thing - a vision. An idea that patients deserved the best health care possible and that as a physician she would give them the absolute attention they deserved on their terms, in the office or at home, 24/7/365.

Some have called her crazy, while others have applauded her for being a trail blazer, but however you view Dr. Hall, if you're a patient, you simply call her your doctor
