A few months ago I managed to get in to see an RA doctor here, ending one of my quests for medical representation since the move. Dr. Grant is a quiet, efficient, and well-respected doctor, and a lot of people were surprised that I got attached to his practice.
Today I saw Dr. Gillis, a new GE doctor who just hung out his shingle. He seems nice, and he seems to know his stuff. He appeared to like that I brought my former GE history with me, and he made a copy of a few things for his records. He wants to run some tests of his own, get to know me and my case, and seemed to genuinely be concerned about my care.
I'm on a waiting list for a GP/family doctor to "oversee" my medical needs; until then, it is up to me and balanced between my two specialists. I'm on the waiting list, but as a friend here recently has a two-year wait before he got a call for a new GP, I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully we'll hear something in the nearer time frame, though.
Next step is getting Dr. Grant to ween me off the prednisone and onto something else. Then, maybe, I can lose the 20 lbs I've gained being on that evil (but highly effective) medication. We'll see.

Yeah, I'm still working on losing that extra 20 pounds of baby fat from my last pregnancy. Hope you have better luck than I have at accomplishing your weight-loss goal.
