I researched local T's for several months before making the actual phone call. My initial decision was that I wanted a male T, would find man easier to talk with, thought it would be good for my son to interact with a positive male. But then part of me knew I tended to avoid close interactions with females and thought heck since I am going to do this lets deal with everything. (What a joke--shows how clueless I really was about myself.)

When when I actually made the call to the practice I had chosen the receptionist asked who I would like to schedule with (there were 3 males and 4 females at the practice). I simply side who ever is most qualified to deal with x, y, z.. --- So in the end I let the receptionist and schedule chose my T. Afterwards, it was very clear to me that there is no such thing as random chance. Some of the T's I see walking around in that office I would NOT have been able to deal with. I think I ended up with T I needed to see. Sometimes I don't like her, but she seems to give me what I needed, when I needed it.
