Looking for a specialist...

I already gave you a name... unless you aren't looking for a private specialist. ☕

If you call him, he’ll get you in by the day after tomorrow, but if this is an absolute emergency, he can see you immediately.

I'm looking for a solid dermatologist in Chicago (ideally one who offers microdermabrasion). I need someone with a proven track record where people actually see results. Any recommendations? 🙂 😢

What’s the medical scene like there? Should I go ahead and book an appointment too?

Does anyone know anything about Dr. Dubravka Zekić Bouček?? Thanks.

I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of what a session with a solid chiropractor typically costs, and maybe share a little bit about what the process is actually like...
Since I live out in rural Oregon and work a pretty demanding physical job, I’ve started feeling the strain lately, plus I've dealt with some slouching issues since I was a kid, so I'm really hoping to find someone who can help me get my posture back on track and everything properly aligned...

I’m based out in San Diego and I'm looking to see a chiropractor because my job is pretty physical and I'm starting to feel the toll. Plus, I've had terrible posture since I was a kid—really hunched over and never standing quite straight—so I'm hoping this can fix my alignment and get everything back where it belongs if it's even possible.

My old man went to some lady near a local church. He paid $50 per session.

I really feel like I should head to a cardiologist over in Indianapolis soon, so I was hoping anyone with some experience could point me in the right direction. Does anyone happen to know what the typical wait times look like if I try to go through the hospital system? Or, if you have any recommendations for a good private specialist, how much they usually charge and what the experience is like—anything at all would be incredibly helpful. To be honest, my doctor's comments left me feeling a little rattled, so I'm feeling quite anxious about this. It’s become a bit of an urgent matter for me, too. Thanks so much in advance for any help you can give.

I’m in urgent need of a reliable gynecologist in the greater Chicago area... but I’m specifically looking for someone within the public healthcare system rather than a private practice. Does anyone happen to know a doctor who is currently accepting new patients?

Like, how long are the waits at the hospital, or do you know any good private practices? I'm curious about what they charge and basically anything else you can think of. My doctor really spooked me a bit, so I'm feeling pretty anxious about this. It's kind of urgent, too. Thanks so much in advance!

Honestly, unless things have taken a really scary turn since you last spoke, maybe just give Dr. Sullivan a call first? Just ask him about the best way to handle the exams and getting everything scheduled—you'll probably get the clearest picture that way.

Scott Allen10 said:Look, if things haven't changed drastically over there, you might just want to give Dr. Sullivan a call. It’s probably easiest to just ask him directly about the scheduling and any orders he needs to put in; you'll get much better info that way.

Does he work out of a hospital, or is he in private practice? I was also wondering if you happen to know what the typical wait time looks like for an appointment, an EKG, or a cardiac ultrasound.

Ladies, I just gotta tell you—I finally saw that amazing OBGYN, Dr. Sullivan, over at the Eljuga Clinic. She is seriously incredible. Super friendly, walks you through everything, and honestly? Her rates aren't even that bad by today's standards... I'd recommend her to anyone. If only every doctor in America was like her, life would be so much easier.

I’d love to hear from anyone who has visited Knego, Stefanac-Papić, or Stimac. I'm looking for some insight on their expertise and general pricing...
thanks so much

Does anyone have contact info—address, phone, or cell—for Dr. Patrick Mahomes?

He’s practicing down in Miami, by the way. Has anyone actually been to see him?

Cheers

So, I’m looking for some recommendations for a private dentist located somewhere between Brooklyn and Queens who accepts Medicare. We currently have one, but honestly, he's bleeding us dry. For instance, a simple filling requires three separate appointments $33 on top of an extra fee $33—and to top it all off, the guy refuses to even give us a receipt, making all sorts of excuses
. I've finally reached my breaking point; I'm about ready to lose my cool, but I really need to find a new provider. My entire family, including my kids, has been seeing this same person for years.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

I’m seeing a Carpenter here. She does standard fillings and ozone therapy. Usually, a filling is $38, while the ozone stuff is $71. She’s nice and friendly, most of the time. 🙂
I’ve been going to her for a couple of years now and I'm satisfied.

There's more info over here:

I’ve been seeing her for a couple of years now and I’m happy with the results.

You can find more details here:

Does she take Social Security Administration insurance?

So, I'm originally from Key West, and since Washington, D.C. is quite a trek, I decided to hunt for a periodontist down in Miami, but apparently, even that isn't going to be easy. 😢
There is a Dr. Parat, who seems highly skilled, BUT they practice out of a building that is, to put it mildly, run-down, with really awful hygiene. It was basically a disaster zone. 👎
Now, I was wondering if anyone could recommend another periodontist in the Miami, Santa Monica, or surrounding areas... I would be incredibly grateful 🙏, because my teeth need urgent attention before I start dropping them all over the floor. 😁
Someone mentioned a John Doe to me... is he a periodontist or just a general dentist?
Thanks in advance. 🙂

I'm looking for some ideas and recs

Regarding my HEART:
I need to get an EKG and an exercise stress test done—anyone have suggestions?
And I'm assuming a cardiologist consultation comes included in the package, right? Please let me know if you know any good private doctors or someone covered by Medicare (honestly, I’ll probably seek a second opinion too, because I am definitely not in the mood for anyone playing guessing games with my heart).

Regarding my LUNGS:
For a spirometry test, they pointed me toward the Mayo Clinic, run by Baron in Washington, D.C. The waitlist is about 16 days, which isn't the end of the world since I doubt I'm going to drop dead tomorrow, but that's just for the initial checkup and the breathing test. That said, if anyone knows a solid pulmonologist, please hit me up.

Thanks in advance... 😉

I’m currently weighing whether or not to pull the trigger on a septoplasty operation 😢 so I was wondering if anyone could point me toward a solid ENT specialist up in Seattle

Rachel Morris42 said:Is he at a public hospital or one of those private clinics? Do you happen to know how long the wait is for an exam, an EKG, or a heart ultrasound?

He's at the hospital.

If it's an emergency, they don't make you wait, but if it's just a routine thing, I honestly have no clue... usually, though, they'll run an EKG right before or during the checkup, and they'll definitely schedule an ultrasound eventually.

Please help.

Is there really no one from Brooklyn to Queens who works as a dentist?
