Likewise. I basically

- will not see a “provider”. A doctor (MD/DO) only please.

- will not see a doctor who uses LLM tools (or therapists for that matter)

- Make it abundantly clear that if you do then we’re not a match.

- Will pay significantly more/go out of my way for for this.

Regardless of whether your preferences are rational or not, you're quite lucky to be able to pick and choose. There is a shortage of clinicians and it's only going to get worse so most patients will have to take whomever they can get, especially if they're not able to wait months for an appointment.
Indeed, I’m definitely in a privileged position.
In a similar vein: Will not go to a doctor who is a DO and not an MD.

We all have our biases.
