Hi, is it OK to be the patient of a doctor you know really well professionally but are not currently working around?  I am much older than this doctor, never romantically involved and am having  a hard time finding an in network PCP.   Would he feel ikky?   Don't know what to do HELP!!

If you need a provider, one you know & trust, GO FOR IT.  Nothing icky.

While I was working, that was how I chose my providers. Never an issue.

And welcome to AN.

Thanks for your aye vote, you don't think the doctor would be uncomfortable? because I wouldn't want that to happen?

Go for it!  Many nurses choose their docs this way. And we're talking some close personal info & care. If you liked their prof demeanor, I seriously doubt the Docs care.
