For my insurance, I can search all the doctors in my area and then filter by male or female, their specialities, age range, etc. From there, I just narrowed it down and then met with a couple different ones and settled on the doc I liked the best.
I'm not a fan of the younger doctors to be honest. They are products of the liberal school system. My advice is to choose an older doctor that has real life experience.
I second this. My PCP is a DO. She will not prescribe controlled substances period and is very hesitant to write a prescription. She is all about nutrition and proper vitamins before pills.
Same same same. Sent a question, got a copy-paste response from an assistant that had almost nothing to do with my question. Annoyed, didn’t follow up.
That estimate seems about right to me. Part of the problem is people just blindly trusting what doctors tell them without checking on things themselves.
One option is search for concierge doctors in your area. It's a private doc, you pay a membership towards. Membership has its perks, no waiting, direct access to doc cell phone, on site phlebotomy, MRI, house calls, to name a few possibilities. Each is different.
In previous cases when I still went to doctors, it would require me to visit 2-5 different ones before I found someone that didn't sound like they were reading their diagnosis off Google search.

This sounds like good advice.
I second this advice as well, based purely on my experience.

to be clear, a DO degree requires all the MD stuff too. So they know more than MDs. for anyone wondering.
yup, edited my response to be clearer.
LOL. They know they couldn’t get accepted at an allopathic (MD) medical school.
true, that's usually the case. but by Step 2 it doesn't matter at all.
Yeah, right. When are they gonna put that osteopath massage bullshit on the step2CS?
they have to take the step 2 also, this is what im saying.

It's about 1 in 5, if that, that are actually good. that's how it is now.

I'm subscribed to a YouTube channel: Dr. Vikki Petersen
She seems competent and mentions taking on telehealth patients and is big on nutrition.

What is the price range for this type of membership?
It varies, usually around 100 per month and up. If you want top care that's probably the best bet.
Find a M.D. who calls himself/herself a functional, orthomolecular, or naturopathic M.D. They would be up on newer research than your standard dr
Get some sodium ascorbate and start taking a half teaspoon or so per hour. If it makes you poop, back the dosage down a bit.
In January my whole family started to get sick and wiped it out with mega dose vitamin c.
(I'm not saying don't find a doc, just saying vitamin c is very effective VS viral loads and non toxic)
I actually decided to give this a shot, knowing that mega-dosing vitamin C for a few days is no big deal. 12 hours later I do feel a lot better.
I'm really glad! I've found that it works every single time I take it seriously. I drink a bunch of water too.
Try contacting the AAPS to see if they know of a doc in your area. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_American_Physicians_and_Surgeons
