Doctor, Doctor
Since joining the adult world I've never had a primary care physician. No regular doctor. For the past 15 years, I've just accepted who ever was available at my local clinic. I guess that really didn't mean much though since I typically only saw the doctor for a minute or two. Sometimes it wasn't even a doctor that I saw, but some kind of doctor/nurse hybrid creature.
I think I would like to find a regular doctor. There aren't any specific medical issues that is making this urgent, but I'm in my 30's now and as I get older I'll be facing more medical issues. I think I would be more comfortable talking with a doctor who knows me, rather than having to re-explain my life to each new person I meet with.
A while back I came across the GLMA (Gay Lesbian Medical Association) website, that has a Health Care Referrals page. I might check with one of these doctors.

Through three different insurance changes, he's still my doctor and I see him for all my issues. It's nice to know that he knows something about me, or at least recognizes me and I don't have to re-explain everything, every time.
I too wanted someone that I could see over a long period of time. It has made me happy. Good luck in your search.
