AARON1 Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Has anyone had any luke finding a Dr? The few Dr. I have been to are alright but never seem to go the extra mile for me. How have you found your Drs and can you recomend one. Quote
Courtenay Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 What sort of doc are you looking for, one who specializes in sports medicine, a family practitioner, internist, someone who can help with an injury........ Quote
Courtenay Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 Some suggestions: call MED-INFO if you're anywhere near the Pacific Northwest Hospital / N. Seattle area, and specify what you're looking for -- they'll refer you to the appropriate physician. Word of mouth from trusted friends is also a good way. Quote
tomtom Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 I have arthritic big toes w/ bone spurs (just like Shaq) if anyone knows a good doctor for that. It really, really sucks. Quote
mneagle Posted August 23, 2002 Posted August 23, 2002 During my internal medicine residency I worked in the adult medicine clinic at Harborview, which I think is a great place to get medical care. Although residents haven't had a ton of experience, they go that extra mile for their own training as well as because it's the right thing to do. Also, because they aren't under the gun from some HMO businessman to see 30 patients a day they are able to spend a lot more time with each individual patient. They have excellent supervision from great attending physicians and the referral resources are top notch. Their number is 206-731-5865 unless it has changed in the last 3 years. If you mention to one of the attendings that Mark Neagle told you to go there you're likely to hear some outlandish stories, none of which are true at all. Quote
