Looking for a specialist...

Washington, D.C.:

Does anyone have any good recommendations for a primary care doctor, a dentist, or a gynecologist around the Upper West Side or Downtown?

Thanks so much!

If you’re looking for a recommendation for a physical medicine and rheumatology specialist—you might want to check out Dr. Vlasta Brozičević. She practices over at Pismo Hot Springs. She actually serves as the official physician for the US Ski Team, which, if you ask me, pretty much says everything you need to know about her skill level. She really is the best.

Prof. Nikša Drinković over at Mayo Clinic
he also does private consultations downtown

I'm thinking you’d probably want to look at Mayo Clinic or maybe Pfizer

Look, I actually went to Pfizer for my implants, and honestly, the teamwork there was top-notch. I am seriously happy with everyone—the way they handle things and just the overall quality of the work.

I'm from Seattle and I've got thyroid issues. Looking for a second opinion, so I'm heading to NYC to find one. Who's the top endocrinologist in NYC?

If you're looking for help with your thyroid, the Butterfly Clinic is your best bet.

Hey everyone,
I’ve been struggling with scalp psoriasis for two years now. I’ve cycled through five or six different dermatologists—mostly at Johns Hopkins Hospital and one private specialist—but nothing has actually worked.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a private dermatologist? I’m specifically looking for someone who actually knows how to handle psoriasis cases.

Thanks.

Can anyone point me toward the best place to get allergy testing done in Washington, D.C.? Thanks! =))

Does anyone have a recommendation for a urologist in Washington, D.C.? Ideally someone who takes Medicare. 😁

At Johns Hopkins Hospital, you've got Ivica Mokos, Hrvoje Šošić, and Željko Kaštelan is the head of the department.

There are actually a few different types of allergy tests out there.
If you're looking for skin prick testing, the Hilltop clinic is your best bet. For testing inhaled allergens, I'd recommend either the hospital over in Jordan or the one on Rockefeller.

Does anyone know a neurologist who actually takes appointments in the afternoon? Looking for someone for adults, social insurance... I had a really great neurologist over in the downtown area once, but I can't for the life of me remember her name.

I'm curious to hear any impressions regarding Dr. Željko Kaštelan—specifically regarding dentistry. Here is the website.
Do her techniques actually work?
And what kind of pricing are we looking at, roughly speaking?

Basically, I’m just looking for an overall vibe. Is it even worth getting into this? (Because, honestly, I've had my fair share of dentists by now... ugh.)

I actually went through a similar thing a few years back... Personally, I wouldn't recommend HealOzone. The two teeth I had treated with it are essentially a lost cause—one ended up being pulled, and the other was something I spent two full years trying to fix with various different dentists... I can't quite recall the exact prices, though.

I’d love to hear some thoughts or personal experiences—has anyone seen the dentist Dr. Mostarac over near the Petrov area?

Thanks so much!

I am looking for a recommendation for a dentist in Downtown, specifically someone I could transfer my dental records to.

Anyone got a solid dermatologist recommendation? Preferably someone covered by Medicare.

Could someone please recommend a decent dentist on the West Side of the city? Only if they take Medicare, though.

I'm looking for recommendations—ideally a single facility where I can get everything done at once:

IGF-1
along with 17 OH and 17 CS in a 24-hour urine sample.

I’ve already reached out to Contact Sun and stopped by Laboru-ist—no luck there.

I'm traveling in from Canada, so private labs are definitely on the table. This is urgent.

Thanks in advance 🙂.

I already reached out to Contact Sun—they're open—and I was over at Laboru-ist.

I'm coming in from Canada, so I'm open to private labs too. It's urgent.

Thanks in advance 🙂.

Nobody?

I did a little digging. Someone mentioned testing IGF-1 at the Endocrinology Lab over on Vineyard ( ). They also do IGF-1 and 17 OH at a private lab in Belgrade... might be worth considering if things are getting urgent. http://www.dr-ristic.com/download/ce...kih_usluga.pdf
