My endo is a dude named Richard L. Phelps. He practices out of Chicago's Northwestern hospital, he's in his 60s.
He's got some pretty major plusses. His availability is awesome, he's relatively cheap, he takes the time to listen, he doesn't think he's God or anything like that, he really cares, and he's on call for patient emergencies 24-7.
He's also got some downsides; he's not really into pumps or CGMSs (which isn't to say he won't let you, he's just not that enthusiastic about them). He does the A1cs with a blood draw- and he actually draws the blood himself, not delegating to a nurse.
I'd give him four and a half stars out of five.

Amen! Except he has always been very supportive of my pump, I've been using one for 14 years. He certainly knows about CGMS, but I think he understands that your success with either piece of equipment is dependent on your level of commitment. He is one of the best blood drawers that I know, and I am a toughie. I've been his patient for 22 years, he saw me through three pregnancies, I can't rate him highly enough!
