a pa does not have the same quality and level and training (residency) as a physician does. therefore, the quality is NOT the same. i have this same issue. lately whenever i go in, i am seeing the pa, never the doc. this is for minor stuff though like a cold or a joint problem so i can get a referral to a physical therapist.
But for the minor stuff, it doesn't matter. For the minor things, a PA can most often do what an MD would do. Let's get serious, though: PA's aren't exactly performing open heart surgeries And, note, experienced, long-time PA's may very well be of the same quality, in terms of experience and training, as a newly-minted MD.

Apparently that guy feels that a Doctor will give him a better tasting lollipop for a cold prescription Lol.
