My sister goes to a doctor where there is her regular doctor, a physiotherapist, an dietitian, and a midwife. My doctor refers me out to other people if I need it. Isn't it better to work the way my sister's doctor does?
What you are describing for your sister's doctor is a multidisciplinary approach to healthcare. Her doctor has at his or her finger tips, a lot of resources that he may not be familiar with. By having them all under one roof, they professionals can all bounce ideas off each other and work together to help a patient recover. It isn't necessarily a better system than referring patients to other professionals, but having a team under one roof often an ideal situation for most.
