Dr. Mechanic is a gem. she takes her role as primary care doctor seriously, and manages most of my complaints herself. in my experience other primary care docs would refer me out to specialists the second i asked a question. today for example i had a dermatology concern, an orthopedic concern, and a genetics concern. she addressed all three instead of just referring me for basic, manageable conditions.
