I don't trust him because of his title, that's for sure. If you don't have a personal relationship with your doctor, you should definitely be skeptical. It's almost like going to a car dealership... if you don't know what you're doing, they'll take advantage of you. But if you have a long-term relationship and have moved beyond business cards, appointments and titles, there are plenty of good people with education that can help you. If you don't have a relationship, you may be well served by finding doctors that have already dropped out of the bigger systems and employers: integrative medicine, naturopathic doctors, and the like. Osteopaths, except for more recent grads, have been educated outside of the allopathic machine. The AAPS is an organization that is opposed to the AMA. Cash doctors who left the insurance paradigm behind, usually have a lot more time to get to know you. But yeah, the system is designed to addict us and drug us and can't be trusted.
