We can now seek treatment directly from a specialist for nearly any ailment, no matter how minor and there are a slew of other providers to consult with, such as nutritionists, alternative health providers, and health coaches. Given all of these new options however, you still need a “regular” doctor with whom you can build a regular relationship.
