I've recently moved and having a hard time with it Found a nice GP that's is kind of laid back and tells me when doesn't know about something. He seems to respect my research methodology. Took a lot of Statistics in college and rely on peer reviewed studies. Now he tells me he is retiring in 6 months, so here I go again. Some of the best for everyday problems have been NPs PAs as they take time to listen to me. I use "Rate Your Doctor" site to begin my search. 5 stars with 50 or more people seems to work.
