Yes, finding a really good PCP that "fits" for a particular patient is an extremely difficult task. I wish you luck in finding one that really fits with you. I had a great doc MANY years ago and he died. I was lost. Luckily, I found another doc, (my current PCP) and was happy until my insurance changed and I could no longer see him under the new insurance. Found another PCP that almost killed me. Changed my insurance, was able to have coverage of my former PCP but he was not taking on additional patients at that time. I was then on a search. Thank goodness one of my specialists was picking up the slack and caring for ALL of me until I could find a PCP. I wrote a letter to my former PCP asking that he make an exception and take me. He called me as soon as he got the letter and I was back with him.

Now I am afraid he will retire in a few years and I will be on the quest again. There is only 4 years difference in age between my doc and me. I do not blame him if he decides to retire but I dread the day.
