I was wondering if those in the USA could advise me of the best way to find a primary care physician (PCP?) It sounds simple but I have struggled to find one since my last one left her practice in 2012. I saw a naturopath after that but ultimately she was not the right match for me.
The PCP's in my city who are good are full and not accepting new patients. Ideally I would like someone who accepts my insurance but don't even care at this point as long as the person is competent with a patient like me who has multiple complex medical issues and has two working brain cells. Someone recommended that I find a nurse practitioner instead of an MD but I have had no luck with this either (although it is a great suggestion.)
I have several specialists that I see for ME/CFS, MCAS, mold/biotoxin illness etc, as well as Endo, Cardio, ob-gyn, dentist, eye doctor, etc. But I have no PCP and have had a few situations lately where it would have been very helpful to have one (to make a referral or to order a basic test, etc.)
I have searched Google, Yelp, asked friends, etc, but come up empty handed. Are there any websites where you can find one that I am not thinking of? Thanks in advance!
