I find her well disposed, competent, engaging, and generally a nice person.

I don’t know but I am in the market for one too. In my experience a good physician listens, understands what you will and won’t do, follows evidence based medicine, etc. It is hard (impossible) to tell that based on their title or where they work. I guess I’ll just pick and choose. Recommendations and ratings may help lead me where I want to go.
