Homeschoolers prompt change in doctor's office?

Apparently so -- their responses to a new Blue Cross/Zagat online patient survey suggested better facilities to one large pediatric practice in Raleigh:

At one point, a group of parents of home-schooled children gave [Dr. Jerry] Bernstein's practice generally good marks online. But the group pointed out that "if you can get past the look of the building, the doctors are great," Bernstein said. "It certainly hastened our move" to new offices.
