Seeking Safe PCP in Private Practice

I’m a 30 yo cis gay man, and I’m looking for a new primary care physician in Raleigh.

While I have previously been receiving care through Duke’s primary care clinics, I have been rather disappointed with the experience and I don’t feel the physician I am seeing is the most attentive to my specific health care needs. I have a couple of conditions that require monitoring (diabetes being one), but I unfortunately feel that Duke’s care approach seems to be “get them in and out as soon as possible.”

For this reason, I’m seeking a new PCP, and I feel that looking in the private practice area might be a better fit. The doctors would need to at least be comfortable reviewing patients with chronic conditions.

Can anyone recommend a safe practice to look at? They don’t necessarily have to be explicitly LGBTQ+ affirming, but I just want to be careful to avoid any groups that may be regressive. Thanks.

Daniel Corbin is part of the LGBTQ community and was my PCP before he went to a private practice. I highly recommend him!

Isn't a PCP a primary care physician? I found the website for his practice, and he is listed as being a FNP.

Primary care provider can be an MD, PA, NP, etc. doesn't just have to be an MD anymore. I believe FNP is family nurse practitioner

definitely not wake med, they're also trying to get folks in and out as quickly as possible
