I feel the same. I get information from my PCP's "medical" assistant -- not a trained "physician's assistant". When I ask a question, she is unable to answer it and must go to the doctor, get an answer to a question that may or may not have been phrased correctly to him. So I made an appointment to have my doctor explain the results of all the tests. His answer is that my heart beats too fast...no input as to what that means or any prognosis or side effects of the meds he put me on. He now has be going for a sleep apnea test. No step by step explanation on why any test, what did the results show, or why we are moving forward to meds and the oxygen at night. I liked this doctor when I moved here. He was also new to the area. In those days I guess he had time to really "talk" to his patients. Now, I guess, his practice has grown to eliminate the interpersonal explanations I expect.
