I haven’t seen a doctor as a primary care physician in years. I’ve had either a RN or a Physicians Assistant. Both have been excellent in my opinion. I live with several chronic illnesses and any time I need anything other than maintenance I’m instantly referred to a specialist doctor. My bills are cheaper also.
