How prevalent are PA's in Knoxville? I changed my insurance to here so I'm back in network. In the selection process for doctors. I have a couple circled that are close to me.

Are PA's important to you as far as who your doctor is going to be?

No. If I make an appointment with a doctor, I want to see a doctor. Not dissin' PA's, but if I'm paying for a doctor, I want one. I have seen some good PA's, for the record.

I'm the same way. Usually its just an option due to the doctors limited time schedule. If you're willing to wait (which you will with a GOOD DR), you don't have to see the PA. It's just usually a faster way to get treated. I'm a Dr's son, so I know how all that shiz goes.

I saw a few good ones in Utah and a few bad ones. I got some really good help from two in particular. Got misdiagnosed by one which was a bit costly.

Yeah it goes the same way with Dr's too, trust me. You have good ones, bad ones, and REALLY bad ones!

I know. Didn't find a really good doctor in Utah until about 2 years ago. I'm really going to miss him. He actually cared about his patients.

I do have a name for you if you're interested. It's my dad's best friend. Really good doctor.
