I don't go to a doctor, unless it's a specialist, I use a FNP (Family Nurse Practitioner) I love Lori to pieces, and what I usually end up doing is listening to her advice, and then using my own common sense and knowledge to decide whether or not I want to follow it. I will sometimes use the internet to research...and almost NEVER use the advice I get from the net until I've talked it over with Lori...
