Are there any good ‘doctor finder’ web sites, for example, and what to look for/what to stay away from? Thanks.
Wish I had an answer for you. I am starting to believe the entire profession has changed. In NY I was somewhat known and established. I had some doctors who would come to my office or even home. For the past ten years, I am lucky if I see the doctor at all. I wait two months for an appointment, have to close my office early (unable to find any with late hours), then after waiting 60 minutes past the appointment time I am seen by the PA. My doctors up North tell me this is just the way the profession is going. A few have even stopped practicing.
