I've been seeing my p/doc for 13 years. He is around my age, 49. My appointments are usually 45 - 60 minutes, depending on my needs. Sometimes we will make quick work of my "medical needs", and spend the next 1/2 hour or so talking about sports, movies, whatever. He's nothing short of the "dream" p/doc. Don't get me wrong, clinically, he's right on. I can question a previous med trial from years back and he can pretty much answer before my chart is opened. I have 100% trust in his abilities and I believe he values my input as well...very important!
I did not hand pick him, or even scour the yellow pages, it was a matter of fate, so to speak. I have no idea how one would go out and find a p/doc that fit their bill. I'm sure there's alot of them out there.... sometimes trial and error, just like our meds I guess?Good luck with your move and p/doc search.
Best. Rick
