My last one was right before coming out here (Iraq). For obvious reasons.
Before that, it had been a year and a half. I try to go once a year. I tend to forget to ask about basic things like my birthmark, and if its normal, or malignant, or what? I need to start making a list for the next physical.
As far as choosing a doctor. I see which doctors fall in my insurance plan, and then ask friends or co-workers who they go to, if they like them and such (just like picking a dentist or optometrist or lawyer for that matter). Then, during my physical I determine if I actually like them, if they actually seem to pay attention, or if they are just going through the motions and trying to get me out of their office ASAP. If they are trying to get me out of their office I'll look for a different doctor (I make these judgements when I'm going to the doctor for being sick too, but I haven't gone to a doctor for illness for a long time).
