Need a new doctor. should i go to gen. pract. or endo first?

GP: For general medical care, labs, physicals, go to a general practitioner - either family practice or internal medicine. If you have a specific endocrine issue or difficult-to-control diabetes, then go to an endocrinologist for that particular problem, not for everything.
