these doctors are 'fishing in a barrel' here in TV... we now use a couple that are outside TV and are quite pleased with them

I have United Health Care and was under the impression that you had to see your doctor at least once a year. Fortunately I don't have any health issues at this time so l'm OK seeing the PA. When I was going to have surgery, I went for my pre-op tests and my doctor came in and asked if I had a cardiologist. Something was seen on my EKG that she didn't like. Turns out it was nothing but it made me feel good to know that she was called immediately when there may have been a problem. You can always request that you see your PC at every visit but you may have to wait awhile for an appointment.
