"The qualifications I consider in identifying an outstanding PCP fit into two categories, how the doctor treats me as a person, and how capable the doctor is in addressing my health care needs. In the first instance, I expect the doctor to show friendliness, empathy, and respect. I wish to be well-informed and receive clear explanations so we can be partners in my treatment. The doctor’s competence shows through diligence in maintaining knowledge of preventative practices for good health, recognizing symptoms and knowledge of appropriate tests for diagnosing disease, and knowledge of effective up-to-date treatments. If it is required, the doctor will refer the patient to appropriate specialists, and maintain communication with all involved for the best patient outcomes. Over the last decade, I have needed the benefit of all these skills and am fortunate to have found Dr Hillary Conkling, a PCP who fulfills all of these expectations. I am forever grateful for her ongoing excellent care. "
