Yeah, no idea why you would have been assigned someone who works in a pediatric office. I'd switch to the family medicine MD.
[26][F] I have moved to a new state and have WA State Health Insurance. Questions about choosing my PCP.I previously had a PCP who helped with various issues but mainly helped me with my medication management for my mental health issues. We have found what works for me (see 'Current Medications' below) but I want to have a PCP that is versed with medication for mental health issues in case changes are needed to be made (It took many years, several doctors, and many different medications to come to my current Rx and I am very thankful to my previous doctor for helping me get to such a point). But I also am 26 and am more aware of my women health needs and want to be sure I'm addressing those and staying healthy. I also have an IUD that needs removal soon, at which I will likely get another inserted.I was assigned a doctor that works at a "Pediatrics Associates" place with the credentials (MSN, ARNP, NP-C). I am confused as to why I was assigned to go somewhere for pediatrics, as it was my understanding that it was for children, though I am not discounting my assigned PCP's credentials. I looked into other PCPs that were on the directory and found an MD in Family Medicine and Obstetrics. Seeing this doctor would be a further drive for me but it intrigues me since I have never been to an OBGYN. Since I am getting older and leaning more into health women's health, should I request to begin seeing this PCP instead? -- Note that requests for doctor changes are allowed. -- or does the assigned doctor seem to have plenty credential/ knowledge for me to establish care?Hope this doesn't seem undermining at all, I just want to make sure I'm making a good decision since I will likely establish long term care with my next doctor!TIA :)Height: 5'4"Weight: 110-120 lbRace: Asian AmericanPrimary Concerns: Vaginal Health & Mental HealthExisting Medical Issues: Diagnosed ADHD, MDD, GAD.
