[quote=Anonymous]Doctors are plain humans like all of us. Figure out what you want out of a doctor - symptom management, wellness, root cause discovery, integrative lifestyle approach, specific skill set and expertise, conventional versus holistic or both etc… figure it out and then research research research and ask around.

It’s not just personalities but a conventional MD will differ from a DO or an FM. All doctors that have gone through med school. The vast majority of conventional doctors are symptom management focused, which is how our health and insurance system is structured. DO’s and FM’s will be more about root cause discovery. Also these various doctors will be more or less open to incorporating integrative modalities into long term care such as acupuncture, food as medicine etc…

Until I got sick sick in my 30s I didn’t take the time to really delve and understand how to get myself quality care. It is combination of research and trial and error. Once you get to know one doctor you really appreciate you will realize their network of practitioners they would refer you too are similar in care and approach so it gets easier to build a network of doctors that are a good fit with you.
