There are some wonderful GP's out there. You may have to try on a few for size to find the right fit.
My husband and I finally found a marvelous GP. He has a great bedside manner, he takes plenty of time with us at every appointment (usually 20-30 minutes which is pretty unusual for a GP). He explains things carefully and really cares about the whole person, not just what ails you at the moment. My husband has a very complicated medical profile, and the GP speaks with his specialists before making any major medical treatment decisions. My husband and I are both on psych meds, and that doesn't seem to phase him in the least. He just considers our meds when prescribing other medications and he always treats us with respect and kindness.
It took some shopping around though to find him, so be willing to go to a few until you find one that feels right to you. You are the consumer here, so you have the right to find the best product for your needs.
