I see my primary MD once a year and his PA in between at The Villages Health. Since I am in pretty good health it is actually a waste of the MD's time with his visits. My blood test results are available to me before my visit so I have a preview of any potential problems. The PA asks the same questions as the MD. I very much like my MD so an annual social visit is nice, but personally I don't need the hand holding of an MD. I also like the PA's I have seen. They are very competent. If I had medical issues that required semi-annual changes in meds I might have a different view.
