I've never given much thought to having a general practitioner, "my doctor". My husband and I have kept our health to ourselves. We didn't have a strong need for doctors and a general sketisism of the medical profession in general... until we truly needed one. We are active, conscientious of our diet and in overall good health until my husband had a medical episode.
Then I was on a mission to finding "the right doctor"; he man/woman for us. Dr Perrone was referred to me by a nurse we met in the ER. She was very complimentary of him and so we called to make an apt. My husband and I liked this man straight away. His down to earth, no nonsense personality suited us. He was always honest with us and diligent of my husband's care. I now understand why it is important to have a doctor who knows you, your medical personality, and can work with them to give you the best care. We plan on maintaining our care with him in order to build up a medical relationship. So now he's "my doctor".
