Dr. Kayla - trauma specialist

How do I get an appointment? I heard she isn't taking on any new patients right now.

Does she perhaps have a private practice somewhere? 🤷

Goranin Grmuša works solo—he doesn't have a sister helping him out—but he's a damn good diagnostician. He isn't exactly big on ordering every extra test under the sun, but honestly, I’ve only ever had positive experiences with him. When it comes to private doctors, he's always my first choice.

Does anyone know how I can actually get an appointment with her, since I heard she isn't taking on any new patients right now?

I wonder if she might be seeing people privately somewhere else? 🤷

If you happen to find out anything, would you mind letting me know?

Has anyone here actually seen Dr. Placidia Dobric? She’s a dermatologist over in San Francisco... wondering if anyone knows what the waitlist looks like right now. I really need to get an appointment scheduled to check out a mole.

I'm on the hunt for a solid private dermatologist around the Los Angeles area to get some moles checked out. Ideally, I need someone who actually works Saturdays—at least until 3 PM—and won't absolutely drain my bank account or leave me sitting in a waiting room for three hours. Any leads?

Check out Dr. Smith at Dubrava Basketball Club, but honestly, the wait times are brutal.

granitehawk15 said:I was lucky enough that a buddy of mine works as a top-tier personal trainer here in the States, and he got me into his program. There’s a lot to it, really, but basically, they tailor everything specifically to the individual based on whatever issues you're dealing with. He gave me exercises for muscles I didn't even realize existed, which ended up being huge for my back.
As for physical therapy, I was talking about the standard kind—the stuff you go through using your Medicare. They put me in a group session where there were even people in their 80s. It passed by like a flash, but honestly, it didn't do much for me. I suspect there are probably much better options if you look into private specialists.
Personally, a chiropractor helped me out, and helped my wife too when she was having neck issues. You just have to find someone you can actually trust. If they've been properly trained, they know exactly what they're doing. We have an excellent chiropractor here in San Francisco, and every single move he makes is calculated; he wouldn't do anything unless he knew exactly what the outcome would be.

Could you tell me the name and where they are located? And is the wait time long?

I'm looking for a primary care physician in the area around Unknown, Spain, or Unknown.... Does anyone know of a doctor who is actually accepting new patients? I’d prefer to avoid Dr. Smith or Dr. Mažuranić, as I've read far too many negative reviews about them lately...

I'm looking for a private doctor in NYC who can test me for chlamydia (and other STDs) and prescribe antibiotics. I can't wait two months for an appointment through Medicare... the thing is, I've developed an eye infection caused by chlamydia that could actually lead to blindness, so this is pretty urgent for me.

Thanks.

My apologies if I’ve missed the mark on this topic, but I am honestly quite unsure where to post this question... 🙂
About a year ago, during a game, about ten minutes in, I started feeling pain in my upper right abdomen. It would intensify the more I ran. There were absolutely no warning signs beforehand; the pain just arrived out of nowhere and has persisted to this day.
I can manage maybe fifteen minutes of intense play before the pain kicks in. When it first happened, I was in peak physical condition, so it certainly wasn't a lack of fitness.

I had my abdomen examined by a doctor—he applied some sort of gel to my stomach and moved a device over the area while watching a monitor. He told me everything looked fine.

Is it possible that something ruptured, or perhaps there is a tear or something similar in that area? Which specialist should I see, and what kind of diagnostic tests should I request?
I would truly appreciate any help you can offer. I have been struggling with this for an entire year now, and I still cannot play soccer without experiencing this pain...

Thank you in advance 🙂

Does anyone have experience with nose surgery at the Mayo Clinic in Miami under Dr. Cikojević? How is the aesthetic result?

I need a brain MRI using an MS protocol.
Can anyone recommend a good clinic?
Maybe one of these places—Nemetov, Medikol, or maybe some local diagnostic center?

What about St. Catherine near Unknown?

I wouldn't touch Nemetov with a ten-foot pole. I paid out of pocket there once and the staff was incredibly rude. Honestly, if they want to act like they're doing me a favor by taking ten minutes of my time, they can just find someone else to treat.😁
