Well I just lost my Doctor of 3 years and am having to switch Dr's. She, Dr. C just had a baby last year and has decided to become a SAHM. She was great. I have switched to her husband Dr. J though. He is equally open minded and pleasant. I have seen him before in a pinch when she wasn't available and he's been hubby's Dr for a while. Both of them are open minded, willing to consider other alternative therapies, and encourage less medicated solutions when possible. I've had some doctors who's first act is to give you a prescription for something when you need something much simpler than that. Dr. C has solved some of my problems by addressing vitamin deficiencies and lowering medication dosages. She has encouraged me to see the chiropractor and take yoga classes. Both of our doctors are aware of our alternative lifestyle and do not seen to have a problem with it. They have been more curious than anything. I have had another doctor that went so far as to lecture me about our lifestyle choice, saying that what we were doing was morally wrong. Dr C and Dr J are the most intelligent and they are willing to learn about new drugs, therapies, and any other medical knowledge they can find. They are willing to admit that they don't know it all too but they are willing to use the resources available to them to find out what they don't know. That is invaluable in a doctor.
