Need some input about RE's

Sorry if this is a repeat. My RE recently left and I'm not sure if I should just go to the other dr. in the practice or start looking.
1. How did you find your RE? Was it a dr's referral, friend's recommendation? Any suggestions on finding one?
2. If you have PCOS do you see your RE even when not ttc? I had seen mine a couple years back for help losing weight - which I could use help with again - and am wondering if it's appropriate to schedule something with the new RE to discuss managing PCOS and symptoms and getting to a healthier weight before we actively ttc again. I don't want to look like I'm looking for diet pills again or anything - but am not sure if I should see a nutritionist or just keep trying to do it on my own or if the RE would be best.

Anxious to start TTC #3 within the next year!

Re: Need some input about RE's
IMO, asking for recs on various infertility boards -- especially if they relate to your diagnosis -- is the best way to go. People can give you the inside scoop. Also, you might check out websites that review doctors and even yahoo reviews, etc.&
2011: FSH 13.3 & E 99; AMH 0.54 2nd FSH 6.2 E 40's AFC: 8
BFP from Clomid/IUI ~ Pre-e and IUGR during pregnancy ~ DS born 9/4/12
Feb./March 2013: AMH less than 0.16 (undectable) and AFC = 4;
BFP from supps ~ DS#2 due May 2014
May 2014 January Siggy Challenge:

I was referred to mine by my OB. He offered both clinics in town, but I chose the one that a lot of local nesties used for IF treatments. They overwhelming used a different dr at the clinic, but my OB referred me to the principal dr who started it, who
