There has been a dearth of "good" doctors (GPs) around here since the very late 90s. If you could find one, they weren't accepting patients. If you could find an ok one, you had to hang on for dear life. The specialists I've seen have been an entirely different story, for the most part. If they aren't caring and truly responsive, they sure play the part very well. The only 2 that fit your description of the giant ego, have been orthopedic hip and knee specialists, but they are excellent surgeons, which is important. One told me I couldn't understand scientific papers, because I'm not a doctor. I have 3 degrees in science. 😶 But he's an excellent surgeon and I want my legs to work well.

The giant ego guy was a neurologist. We are not going back.

I am so sorry. It's not surprising that it was a neurologist, though. I mean, after all, it's the brain! >sarcasm< --- I love my neurologist. He's not perfect, but he has a wicked sense of humor, and will actually have discussions with you about whatever problems you are encountering. Migraines, in my case. (I quit my job and they mostly went away entirely!🤗)
