To NPs, aspiring NPs, and anyone else who is reading...I just got onto a new insurance plan, moved, and had to find a new primary care provider. I have heard such wonderful things about NPs and decided to give it a shot and check them out myself. I had my first-ever appointment with an NP this morning.
I had absolutely, hands down, the best experience EVER. She was absolutely wonderful, amazing, knowledgable, caring, etc. I seriously cannot say enough good things. She took her time with me, talked with me, LISTENED, and genuinely gave me patient CARE. She made phone calls to try to get me in with a good psychiatrist in the area. She mediated with my prescription drug plan. She explained things to me spent a good 30-45 minutes getting to know me, my health history, and my concerns. That is more time than a doctor has ever spent with me on a visit. She was, like I said, AMAZING. I actually called the office after I got home just to tell her how wonderful my experience was.
I will never again go to a primary care doctor if I can help it, NPs all the way. To all you NPs out there, you have a HUGE fan in me!!!! Keep up the great work!!!!
