I happened to get a doctor straight out of medical school and pretty much sat him down and told him that I am well-educated about my illness, what I needed in a primary care doctor and asked if he felt he could handle my care. (This was after a horrible doctor I reported to the medical board). He agreed and we spent some time feeling things out. 11 years later we have a great relationship where he trusts me and I trust him and it all works out very well. I often wonder if it would have worked the same if he'd had even a year of experience when I met him. (It also helps that we have a lot in common and probably would be friends in another situation).
