HOW CAN LOCATION AFFECT QUALITY OF TREATMENT? 

“Based on my past experiences, I find myself looking for doctors in more affluent areas because I assume I will get better care.”

“I go out of the Rockaways to get better treatment. I am able to get an appointment without having to wait months to see a doctor. When going out of where I live I feel more respected and they have more patience with me. The treatment is more professional. I will take myself and my kids as FAR out as possible to get better treatment. That is sad that I have to do that.”

“I purposely go to a doctor of color.”

“I changed physicians.”
