Looking for a specialist...

hollowlynx6 said:Not for me since I'm just a college student. You got any recs? I saw some guy on here slid into your DMs so I figured I'd ask... 😳

I can send you her info, but she's a private doctor and she definitely isn't cheap. 😉

Go ahead and send it over!🙂

I'm looking for a primary care physician since I just moved to Washington, D.C. Ideally somewhere near Times Square 🙂

Hey everyone, does anyone have a solid recommendation for a good ophthalmologist in NYC who specializes in glaucoma? I’d really appreciate any leads you guys might have. Thanks!

If you're hunting for a decent dentist—Serena Williams, DDS (Aurora)—she isn't even that far out. 0994626177. (www.kozuljdental.com)
I guess I take my kids there too, since she's actually pretty great.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a dentist in the Miami area? I'm looking for someone who accepts Medicaid/standard insurance coverage.
Thanks so much

I'm on the hunt for a solid gynecologist in the Washington, D.C. area. I’m looking for recommendations, but please—only from women who have actually dealt with gynecological issues themselves.

Hey everyone,

Does anyone happen to know a solid dentist out in Richmond or Washington, D.C.? I’m looking for someone who does high-quality porcelain or zirconia crowns—but here's the kicker—I want to avoid those clunky metal implants if possible. I just want them to actually look human, you know? Not like something a donkey would wear.

Thanks!

I actually had a really great experience with Dr. Miller.

I really need to find a solid pulmonologist. My current doctor just keeps cranking up my dosage—but honestly, ever since she started that, my test results have just been getting worse and worse.

The hospital in New York City is basically a specialized lung center

People, I need urgent help here!

My primary care physician is retiring this Thursday—just like that—leaving me completely stranded without a doctor.
To make matters worse, her clinic is located in a different city entirely, while I'm living out here in Los Angeles; so, technically, this was my chance to finally switch to someone local.
BUT!!!
Not a single GP seems willing to take me on—they all claim their patient lists are already maxed out.
On top of everything else, I am pregnant—which means I desperately need referrals, medical leave notes, and constant oversight—yet circumstances have conspired to leave me without any medical coverage at all.
What am I supposed to do?
Finding a reliable family doctor is an absolute emergency at this point, yet I feel like I'm just spinning my wheels.

Does anyone have advice or perhaps a recommendation on where I should transfer my medical records?

I'm looking anywhere within Los Angeles, a small town in the suburbs, or even a small town in the suburbs further out—basically anywhere in between.

Thanks

It’s basically the Rockefeller of hospitals—honestly, the doctor was so rushed during my "exam" that she didn't even look me in the eye! She just handed me some double dose of a much stronger med and called it a day.

Does anyone know a decent dermatologist around Philly or Brooklyn? I don't mind going private. I need someone to take a look at some moles and potentially deal with any follow-up treatment if things look sketchy.

Jessica Johnson85 said:Since my skin is pretty pale, I have quite a few moles. I went to see a dermatologist recently, but her entire exam felt like it lasted about one second—she just gave them a lightning-fast glance. 🙄 Everything was fine.

Still, I’d really prefer to see a doctor who will actually check EVERY SINGLE mole of mine using a magnifying tool.

Are there even any doctors like that in Washington, D.C.? 🤷

Looking for recommendations 🙏
Thanks

The best move is to get a dermoscopy done. They take photos of all your moles and archive them, so if anything changes later, you have a baseline to compare against to catch anything dangerous early. You can get a free dermoscopy at the local public dermatology clinic, you just need to make an appointment.

Does anyone know a gynecologist in Washington, D.C. who actually takes Medicare and might be willing to "help out" by printing referrals on command for private clinics? 🙂

I tried to get an appointment with Dr. Sheban over on Schwarz Street, but the guy is completely booked up. 😢

If you're looking for threads regarding gynecologists in Washington, D.C., check out Women's Health. You’ll have a much better chance of actually finding a real answer over there.

Does anyone know where I can go around the Miami area to get tested for stuff like hepatitis or HIV?
