Hey sremed...'evening! Access to bigger metropolitan areas increase your odds of finding better docs if that's of any help. Even an hour or two drive might be worth it if consequent appointments to regulate dosages and general checking up on your situation isn't too frequent.

I find that around here that once one is on a med., a general checkup is every month or so starting off and then tapers down if the med is working. An hour or two isn't that bad a trip and completely worth any inconvenience if the guy is worth his salt.
