Looking for a specialist...

Don't bother

Looking for a dermatologist... is it actually possible to get an exam like that covered by insurance with a referral? Can my OBGYN even write one?
If it’s not free, I’m open to private recommendations too😉
Basically, any help would be appreciated

Your primary care physician handles your referrals. They can also point you toward a specialist in your local area if you don't already have a doctor you trust.

Hey there
Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid dermatologist in the New York City area?
I’ve been going to DG Siget up until now, but my doctor isn't there anymore—and I really need to get my mole checkup done...

🙂🙂 Does anyone actually know a decent physical therapist?
My back is absolutely killing me, it's unreal 😢
thanks

In New York City, there's an excellent private practice run by Dr. Sanja Gregurić—she’s located over on Fijano... I've also heard nothing but good things about the Mayo Clinic.

Looking for recommendations for a good GP in San Jose.

Hi there. I have a referral for a urologist, but it seems like all the specialists listed are men. I generally feel more comfortable seeing a female physician, so I was wondering if there are any female urologists practicing here in Washington, D.C.? Thanks for any help.

I’m not here to give a recommendation—I'm here to give a warning about where NOT to go.

So, this is about Dr. Helena Šimurina’s office over in Jordanovac, NYC. Look, the woman is a top-tier doctor, but she hasn’t been there in over two years—probably on maternity leave or something—and they keep replacing her with a rotating door of total incompetents.

Last week, I swung by because of this brutal cough. Some kid who looks like he just graduated yesterday told me it sounded bad, but then insisted he couldn't hear anything in my lungs through his stethoscope. Without even ordering blood work or an X-ray, he just handed me some antibiotics and called it a day. I don't even have tonsils, so the only place that much phlegm could be coming from is my lungs, but nope—Mr. Know-it-all decided he knew better.

Fast forward to yesterday: I ended up in the ER because of the pain. The staff there looked at me like I was crazy when they heard that cough and realized the guy from last week hadn't even sent me for imaging. They couldn't hear anything through their stethoscopes either, but they immediately sent me over to the specialist at the Mayo Clinic after an X-ray—and sure enough, it was pneumonia. A pneumonia that could’ve been caught if certain people actually knew how to do their jobs instead of just rushing patients out the door in five minutes to clear their schedule. It's a massive DISGRACE. 😠

I'm pretty sure you can find one at Sun Health.
No way there isn't a single female urologist somewhere in Washington, D.C.—it's a huge city.😁
Easiest thing to do? Just call around to some local clinics—like the Mayo Clinic—and ask.🤷

I actually visited Dr. Vukas over on Fifth Avenue ( Vukas Clinic), and honestly, I really can't find anything to complain about regarding their service; everything was handled quite quickly and professionally, and he's great at providing all the details you might need concerning exams, surgeries, buying glasses, and so on.

Hi everyone, I’ve been handed a referral for a urologist, but from what I can gather, it seems like it’s an exclusively male field. Honestly, I feel much more comfortable seeing a woman for this kind of thing, so I was wondering if anyone knows of a female urologist practicing here in Washington, D.C.? Thanks in advance for any leads.

You should check out the specialists over at the Mayo Clinic. Dr. Bernat is excellent.

Does anyone happen to have a decent urologist they could recommend in San Francisco?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid private ENT specialist in Washington, D.C.? 🙂 I've been dealing with this nagging ear infection for way too long now. 😢

I’m looking for a solid gastroenterologist who specializes in Crohn's disease. I’ve heard good things about Dr. Vucelić, who practices at Rib, though apparently he also sees patients privately. Does anyone know which clinic he works at for private consultations? I’ve also heard about Dr. Rotkvić's private practice.

Based on my own experience, I highly recommend Professor Krznarić and Dr. čavka from the Mayo Clinic group.🙂

Actually, she came back from maternity leave about 3 or 4 months ago, so it wasn't anything else like vacation or sick leave.

I have to agree, she's great! 🙂

Does anyone know a good orthopedic surgeon in the Šalat area?
My hip scans aren't looking great—I actually had four surgeries back in the day in Lovran about 25 years ago.
If you have a recommendation, please drop a name.
Hvala.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid pediatric orthopedist around the Rijeka, Istria, or Lovran area? It’s kind of an emergency, so please let me know if you know someone good.

Hey everyone!
I’m looking for a solid, highly recommended ENT specialist here in the States.
My primary care doctor has been struggling with my clogged ear for two months now—it's just going nowhere.
After trying every over-the-counter remedy under the sun, she finally told me I need to have the canal professionally cleared out.

Please, PLEASE give me some real recommendations based on your own experiences. I am genuinely terrified of doing something wrong and messing up my hearing.

THANK YOU!!
