    Several of my physicians are now affiliated with Virtua, or some other large medical system. In the past this has resulted in more difficulty reaching the doctors, scheduling routine appointments and generally depersonalized service. Just as importantly, the work loads for the physicians become an impediment to good care. Hopefully this will not be the case with this practice.
