How do you choose your doctors?
I'm a horrible patient. I use my intuition when choosing a physician from my insurance plan. I make my final decision based on the initial exam, with exception of the last doctor I choose...
I wasn't happy with my initial visit, but I decided to go for a second visit (again based on my intuition) and I'm SO glad I did. Being in the medical field, I have to have a doctor who will talk to me on my level, and not be intimidated by how much I know (not that I know everything, I absolutely do not, but I have found the amount I do know intimidates most PCP's). Because of this, it's very difficult for me to find a physician I'm happy with. Although I'm not completely happy with my current physician, I plan on staying with him until he retires. He's willing to listen to me, and that's hard to find (especially for me, which I'm sure you understand Tahoe lol)
