I just want to give a Sarah Palin style shout out to Wichita doctors.

Ever since we moved here and had to choose all new doctors, we've had nothing but great experiences. I was nervous at first because our doctor list from our insurance company isn't lengthy so our choices are limited. For instance, when it came time to get Payton's orthodontist appointments restarted, we only had one choice. And the office is awesome. Even better is the fact that we get a medical debit card to use for medical expenses and her braces are completely paid for.

Andy and I had never gotten setup with a general doctor for ourselves so I made "new patient" appointments for both of us this week. I just returned from mine and was very pleased with the new dr. And no co-pay on top of it!

When we lived in Texas, we had issues with our general doctor being mean, our dentist talking to everybody like 2 year olds (even to Andy!), the orthodontist office being expensive and unprofessional (I had to ask the assistants to please not discuss the details of their personal lives across the room while my child was there. They were so inappropriate.), our pediatrician and eye doctors weren't available much, etc. We did change doctors around a bit while we were there trying to find a good fit but after a while you just look flaky while constantly changing records from one office to another.

Happy to report that won't be an issue here!
