Chiming in about quality of doctors here. Moved here from MA and switched to an RI PCP. He ordered some bloodwork when I had my first visit. I had a bad feeling about this doctor, like he was barely interested in doing his job. I’m older with my share of medical issues, so after a few months I decided to switch back to my Boston doctors. I had my RI doctors office send my lab results to Boston. A couple of days later I got a call from Boston, telling me there were some alarming results in my bloodwork and that I should come in. My RI doc had these results for months and obviously never looked at them.

So, my story is completely anecdotal and is a sample size of exactly one doctor, so take this with an enormous grain of salt. That being said, it’s a story I feel is relevant here.
