I have to say that I've seen PhDs that were (to be kind), less than impressive. (In fact, downright idiots). Just sayin'. I've been going to a place that the county contracts with (read: free clinic) for a number of years now. I have very much liked all of my Ts there. I'm on #3 at this point. Yes, there does tend to be a bit of turnover for various reasons, but there are good ones out there, fear not. And I hope you get a good one!
