I had an excellent pediatrician. I'm sure my mother found him by word of mouth. He's no longer practicing and my son now goes to the best pediatrician in town, also found by word of mouth (just to show HOW we find doctors in this small town LOL). Once I was a teenager, I went to a decent-sized medical clinic and just picked a name. Had a few poor experiences there with various doctors (and one FNP who claimed to be a doctor and told me my symptoms were all in my head) and found myself at the Public Health Center where I met the best doctor I've ever had. She's incredibly knowledgable, is clearly confident but not arrogant, and our personalities mesh well. I feel completely comfortable around her. Unfortunately, I'm not qualified to receive services there (well, fortunately, but unfortunately still), so I'm now seeing the doctor that I used to work for. I like him as a person and know that he sees a lot of people with unique issues, but he's not quite at the same level as my favorite Public Health Center doctor. BTW, I started seeing him because it was convenient to be working in the same clinic. Get my stuff taken care of during my lunch hour. I'm not opposed to changing doctors if someone else is a better fit or can help me better.
