Finding a good Doc: Sometimes it takes time to find the right fit for you in medicine. It seems you already know what you want...Some one to listen, to treat you with respect, to teach or explain to you what they think and what they believe needs to be done to find the answers to your problem. Do not be afraid to doctor shop a bit till you find the right fit.

2nd opinion.: If you feel that your complaints are going unanswered and your issues are going unsolved, it couldn't hurt to get a second opinion either with another primary care physician or a specialist. A fresh set of eyes could being a new perspective to your issues.
