I didn't mean she was a GOOD pdoc, just that she was one  .
I've seen mostly DOs for years (my pdoc and family doc are both DOs) and never had anything happen differently than an MD appointment aside from they are more person focused. Maybe that's just mine but my experiences with DOs have been really positive. I would NOT however want one who thought something as asinine as people with BP don't take ADs. I had an MD pdoc once who thought that it was impossible to have a master's degree and work in healthcare and have BP and it was a miserable experience.
