The Family Doc

This is a great place to share concerns and to vent from time to time, too. The odds and ends of information that come from the replies are very helpful.

I see my (retirement age) family physician for many concerns, some cancer, some not cancer. He is easy to visit with, easy-going, a good listener, and offers good advice.

He has far fewer patients than my onc, which in turn increases my comfort level because of his relaxed manner and ear for my concerns.
