Hi @parus. I feel like finding a great PCP, Mental Health Professional, obgyn, or any doctor takes much time and energy, especially if you are not feeling well to begin with.....I have switched out doctors more than once......it is a process as in interviewing and it is important. The patient IS in control of who we choose as a doctor. We are doing the interview. This is our LIFE & Wellbeing. There are reviews. There are local people to talk to in every town and city that can refer good doctors, dentists and the like. Friends and family members can be good resources as well. Consultations with new doctors are not usually free but worth it for me...This is my Life.
There are lots and lots of holistic doctors out there which I have also received some good recommendations from regarding supplements and healthier living. I have recently moved to a new state so immediately I began looking for a doctor, dentist, etc. After 1.5 years I have found a wonderful and reasonable dentist. He is the third one I visited. I found a great doctor's group. They are of multinational countries as well as US citizens. I had one other doctor prior this group who I did not care for. I found a professional female psych nurse (she is a medical psychiatric nurse & is well studied in the effects of the medications she prescribes or does not prescribe). She knew and understood my wanting to get off of antidepressants and helped me taper completely off of the antidepressants. I like her because she is female. I only choose female docs....just my choice...they know our bodies better than a male would.....just my opinion....but also just makes sense to me being female.
I will continue to do research to protect my body and also to live the healthiest lifestyle possible. I do not care for going to doctors all of the time.......still I want the best in place for me in case I need to visit them for any reason.
