Adjusting to a new Doctor

I began seeing Dr. Andrew Hilldrup about a year ago, shortly after my previous MDVIP PCP retired. I had been a patient of my prior PCP for over 35 years, and through several serious medical experiences. Naturally, I was somewhat apprehensive about switching doctors.
I have found Dr. Hilldrup to be an excellent health and wellness advocate. He is patient, attentive, and detail oriented. He speaks in “plain English,” a quality I very much appreciated in my previous PCP. Dr. Hilldrup has an excellent bedside manner, a characteristic which is becoming ever harder to find in many physicians today.
I have grown comfortable with and confident in Dr. Hilldrup. While it takes time to transition from a 35+ year doctor/patient relationship, I look forward with confidence to building the same close relationship with Dr. Hilldrup that I had with my previous PCP (which is saying a lot, since I’m almost 70 years-old!).
