I don’t have a PCP right now. I did, he was meh, and I was seldom ill, so I have not seen him in eight years. I have half heartedly looked for a new one. I do see my gyn and derm and I found them both by myself. I like them. I have a guy for sports injuries, too.
If I needed a new specialist, I would find one by myself by talking to friends or if it was really serious, reaching out to online forums for some names. I needed an ortho a while ago and found him that way. I wanted to keep playing sports and wanted a surgeon who could make that possible.
