Snowie,
There are many DOs who never wanted to MDs. In my community we have a couple of pDocs, one DO and one MD, who are married to each other. Twenty-five to thirty years ago there was very strong division between the two schools. Now they work together very closely and a DO is chief of staff where he wouldn't have been allowed in the door fifteen years ago. Whether a doc is good or not depends on the individual. The doc that's done the most harm in my locale graduated from a top ivy league school, so a lot of people trusted him without investigating. Find out where, and what in, a doc did their residency. Are they board certified or board eligible in their specialty? What are their particular interests and areas of expertise? Do you have any source of recommendations from other patients? Some offices allow for get acquainted interviews, although I'm not sure managed care has encouraged them. I prefer a pDoc who rates high on the compassion scale, but can still level with me when it is for my benefit.

Hope you find a good fit.

Chris A.
