Good for her.
I applaud professionals like that and if I were close I would use her.

My country doctor runs her practice like a clinic. When I first
started going there many years ago, she charged $5 for those without
insurance. I think it's $35 or $40 now. She knows how to milk the
Pharma system, taking as many samples as she can, then giving them to
those who need them most and can least afford them.
Her waiting room tables and magazine stands are covered with
computer mags--Macworld, PC World, IT mags, etc. She started
automating at least ten years ago on her own. She walks around with
a portable phone clipped to her belt and a bluetooth headset, to
take patient calls. Her records are digital, as are the
prescriptions she writes.
She's a real geek--in a good way--and is a good advocate for her
patients whose insurance companies deny procedures that they're
supposed to cover. She's had to raise fees over the years to cover
the cost of a separate office that only handles insurance claim problems.
