First Step to a PCP

I've taken the first step to doctor shopping in my new locale. Well I guess it's not the first step. I have been talking with other women since I landed about their experiences with certain facilities and physicians. Yet no one led me to any one set of conclusions about where I wanted to go or what doctor's I wanted to pursue for my follow up care at this point in time. We know I'm insured so that's no longer an issue. I just have to make sure that I go to an approved provider. Therefore when I say I've taken my first step, I mean that I'm going to my chosen primary care provider to get my referrals. The first step in the process was choosing a PCP, and that I have accomplished. Now it's on to the appointment and ensuing discussion to make my way to east coast oncology-land.
