In reply to Pdocs doing physical exams?????????, posted by Cecilia on June 16, 2001, at 4:31:11
There are no physical exams specific to the conditions Pdocs treat. It would be very expensive for you to pay a pdoc to do a physical exam, as they generally bill at a higher rate. A Pdoc does not keep up with genetalist reading so a primary care doc gives a better and cheaper general exam and consult.
If your Pdoc has a nurse, ask her to take your vitals; weight, height, BP, and pulse. This will not cut into the valuable time you spend with your Pdoc.
