[quote=Anonymous]"I would prefer that my child be seen by the doctor since we are paying the same for an office visit, and there is obviously an advantage to someone who has advanced education and experience on medical issues that may be affecting children (or anyone, but for this example it's children)." This is really short-sighted. Sometimes NPs are better at things than doctors - doing a pap, listening well and giving instructions, doing some procedures that nurses rather than docs tend to do (shots, IVs). Other times, you do want the expertise of a doc, though I think that in some cases a NP withe 15 years of experience is far better than a doc just out of residency. [/quote]
