I am 75.. I have found a great Nurse Practitioner who is in my primary care physicians group. She’s wonderful and ran additional tests when my primary care doctor thought my condition was a result from covid. Sent me to a rheumatologist and found my pain was from Polymyalgia Rheumatica. Never heard of it before my diagnosis. My POINT is don't think your getting less if you consult with a Nurse Practitioner or a Physicians Assistant. They have more time to consult and are very knowledgeable.
