I have been told of a Dr. Coy but don't know anything about him. Any comments?

Any help would be appreciated....thanks!
Are you looking for a doctor whose main purpose is to look at you and decide he "sees a healthy person" and says "see you next year" (which is convenient), or are you looking for a doctor who does a complete history and physical exam and then recommends you come in in accordance with the FINDINGS he/she made in the exam?

I'm pretty sure that if you had a major stroke, heart attack, sudden blindness or found a cancer gone wild 2 or 3 months after the minimal, "see you in a year" visit, you'd be asking here about a good malpractice lawyer because the dr. didn't do his job by just eyeballing your exterior and deciding "you're healthy...see you next year".
