I saw this topic a few weeks ago, and didn't think it applied to me...until I went to my OB/GYN today! I have several doctors: allergist, OB/GYN, dentist and ophthalmologist, so I thought I was covered.
On the new patient form for my OB/GYN, it asked for the name of my Primary Physician...and I realize I don't have one! I drove home, wondering how I'm going to find someone, and saw Tina's message with great websites. This is a great starting point for me, to find some "favorites" as far as their speciality, interest, location, certifications, etc, then I can start asking around...and if the same name comes up, then I can go meet with them and see if I like their "bedside" manner. This process takes awhile, but it's worth it!
EmpowHer is such a great site for health resources...thanks!
