I would PREFER a NP over a physician, in most instances.
Nurse Practitioners are not only able to provide medical/clinical care, they are also (typically) better with their bedside manners, time with patients, and are very knowledgeable, trained and experienced in health education, health promotion and overall wellness and lifestyle choices (and do not primarily focus on the traditional medical model of disease prevention).
NPs can be certified in an area of specialty, and those are the professional I trust the most.
