The only experience we had was three years ago when our visiting grandson had an asthma attack in the middle of the night. He was immediately treated while his mother was somewhere else giving insurance information and his history was also immediatly assessed on line.

People were both professional and caring.

We don't go to the emergency room ever unless it is an emergency and if we had thought to call 911 we know he would have been quickly transported.

I suggest to all new folks to find a doctor and go to him/her and get set up. Get your records sent and be prepared to have some tests duplicated.

The only problem is finding just the right doctor in a brand new situation.

We are going to a D.O. after some hesitancy and some research. He has turned out to be pretty good. We had never consulted a D.O. before but actually their medical training is pretty close to M.D. We return to Cincinnati for our annual cancer doctor visits and Helene's cardiac visits. She, although an adult, continues to see cardiologists at Cincinnati Childrens because of a complicated heart birth defect.

Everyone has to do what his best for them, but being ready to have someone who knows your history is a good idea.

Health problems tend to come right along with birthdays.
