A research oriented doctor is going to have very little interest in anything but their research. So if you know you have a rare disease, sure. But most people do not.

Go to a doctor from a hospital with acclaimed primary care, like University of Washington Medicine. Ranked #1: https://www.usnews.com/best-graduate-schools/top-medical-sch...

I used Northwestern for years and my internal medicine doctor always seemed more up to date. The specialists he referred me to were often involved with the university in some capacity and seemed to be aware of very up to date info in their fields.

Awesome! Good medical care is what everyone deserves
