I’m convinced it’s the way to go, especially for someone with a lot of health issues. I can’t count the number of doctors Mrs. Dan sees for her various health issues, and I realize that no one doctor could address it all, but to have one that gets the “big picture” I believe is far more important that seeing a bunch of disparate practitioners.
At one time, my parents' rheumatologist had taken over that function, and managed their multiple drugs and interactions. Their old GP resented the hell out of it, when it was his incompetence that forced the specialist to take over the general functions. The new GP, same guy I use now, had no problem with the arrangement. When we were trying to get a diagnosis for mom's Giant Cell Arteritis before she went blind or died, she got referred to a teaching brain specialist at MSU. When he mentioned that a rheumatology consult might be in order, she told him who the Rheumatologist was, and he said something like "oh, yeah, the guy who's been sending me faxes about you and I've been ignoring".
