hi carrie and welcome to NT,

i just moved to another state and have to start again with finding all new docs.
i doubt you'll find only 1 dr to meet all your needs. start with finding a good internist to coordinate your care and give you referrals.

i needed a pain dr too and of late they're all really careful about prescribing narcotics. so, it may take a few visits for you both to feel confident with each other. i found my dr by calling a local rehabilitation hospital and asking who they would recommend for pain mgment. then my pcp wrote me a referral letter.

getting letters from your previous md's summarizing your care would be helpful to take to anyone new. it's more credible that way.

the previous advice is good. knowing your dx would help us help you.
