To the original poster: I have had more terrible doctors than I have NPs. In fact I saw a doctoral NP and she was terrible. But that was the only NP I've seen who was terrible. But I could list off all the doctors who misdiagnosed my kidney stones, strep throat, committed me for no reason, and the list goes on and on.

In the end, take a little time and look around for someone you TRUST, regardless of NP or MD. Someone you can tell everything so they can really give you a good diagnosis.
