My wife and I could have very well said exactly what you've said word for word. We too have a doctor at Colony where we feel she is terrific. Might even be the same doctor as yours.

Our doctor is a Family Doctor, which I considered the best of what choices we had, and we're happy knowing that her training includes geriatric medicine which is a sub-specialty of both family medicine and internal medicine that focuses on health care of elderly people.

Based on my past experience I'd much rather have a family doctor that doesn't necessarily know everything (who does) and will look up, research or confer on what they don't, or appropriately refer when necessary, than a specialist that will pretend that they do know everything to save face because they're, well... "a specialist."

You might say we're as happy as a cat in a catnip factory!
