Reply to comment by [deleted] in Looking for a doctor that isn't going to gaslight me and will actually run tests. by [deleted]

NP's are not anything like a functional medicine doctor. The later is fake. Nurse Practitioners work under a real doc and can even prescribe medicine. That's the only difference. Most doctors office have you see an LNP before a doctor and take health insurance.

You could be right, but normally NP is "Nurse Practitioner". Another protip, if any doctor refuses to do something you are requesting, ask them to note that in your record.(that they refused to do x,y,z test.)

I meant nurse practitioner.

Edit to add: you offer some good advice.
