Number 3 makes sense to me. Uh, not meaning to sound sexist, but most guys don't go to the doctor as much as most women. Also, when you have children, you want to know who all is taking care of them.
I highly recommend a general practioner. If you have a good one, they take a more holistic approach, treating the family, the whole body, etc. They know my shady past, my proclivity toward sinus infections, how my sex life is doing, how my depression is, how my sons sobriety is progressing. Every dirty, embarrassing, funny, odd thing about me. Then if a specific problem comes up, you go to a specialist who is only working on one little piece.
I'm very fortunate to have found a great private clinic with two docs, two LNPs, and a great staff. The person who's been there the longest is the receptionist ~ She's known my son since he was 2. And he goes to the same clinic. (He's 30 now.) The two doctors who have moved on have turned their practice over to like-minded people, so, though it wasn't easy, it wasn't as traumatic as moving to a new environment.
I have NEVER been unable to see someone, and 95% of the time, it's the same day.
