My bike only has one fork, so I don't specify that it's the front fork.
Disc brakes do require a little getting used to, but once you learn how to adjust, it's no big deal. At first, I always had the LBS adjust because I didn't want to mess with brakes, mostly out of fear of messing something up. I watched and learned how to maintain, and asked a lot of questions.
Find someone who knows how to adjust, spend time learning, and your confidence will grow. There is nothing too complicated about disc brakes.
