I thought it looked like pretty limited services compared to what I had heard about for "concierge medicine". From wikipedia:
"Concierge physicians care for fewer patients than in a conventional practice, ranging from 100 patients per doctor to 1,000, instead of the 3,000 to 4,000 that the average physician now sees every year. All generally claim to be accessible via cell phone or email at any time of day or night. The annual fees vary widely, from $60 to $15,000 per year for an individual, with the lower annual fees being in addition to the usual fees for each service and the higher annual fees including most services. Some concierge practices do not accept insurance of any kind.It should be noted that this annual fee is not a substitute for medical insurance, and generally does not cover consultations outside the practice, laboratory procedures, medicines, hospitalizations or emergency care from other providers."
I must admit though that I really like my doc and would probably pay it. I think it's hard to make a good living in primary care these days.
