Looking for a specialist...

Rebecca Scott said:I’m trying to figure out if there’s actually some sort of rule regarding taking on new patients. Honestly, I live on the complete opposite side of town—it’s a massive pain traveling 10 miles just to see my GP—but every single time I call an office at the local health center right by my apartment, they tell me they aren't accepting new patients 😕.
How am I even supposed to switch to a doctor who isn't such a hassle 9.3 miles from my place 😁? Am I expected to just start calling every health center in the city, starting with the closest ones and working my way out? It feels like everyone is just going to give me the same brush-off about being full. I truly don't get it 🙂
.

Maybe Matilda Tandara?
I used to be with Mrsic-Novacki, and for a while, Tandara was covering for her. To be honest, she seemed much more competent than Mrsic—she actually sent me for a whole battery of tests and generally seemed far more invested in my care 🙂. I wasn't with her for very long, though, so I can't say how she holds up "in the long run" 😉.

Here’s the deal: most doctors claim they’re at capacity because they’re "saving spots" for children or family members of current patients—which they aren't even allowed to do. My workaround? You call Medicare and ask which doctors actually have openings. If the specific doctor you want refuses to take you, you tell them to check with Medicare, and then Medicare tells them they're supposed to be accepting people. That’s exactly how I managed to get my mother transferred after every single clinic turned her away, claiming they were full even though the Medicare registry showed they had up to 300 open slots 😬. 😠

Tandara is fine, I guess, but her sister? Absolute nightmare... She practically looked at me like I was some idiot when I walked through the doors at Grizanski looking for my dear Mrsic-Novacki, who apparently moved to a new location without bothering to tell a single one of her patients—to top it off, she changed her hours too. And the kicker is that her sister only answers the phone for one measly hour a day; getting a hold of her is impossible. Anyway, Tandara's sister basically treated me like a nuisance, snapping, "Well, you should have known where your doctor moved to!" ... Give me a break. I'm not Nostradamus or some psychic; I can't just sense when a doctor relocates, especially when there isn't a single notice posted anywhere, not even at the old office.

To make matters worse, you can only reach them by phone for one hour a day—it's impossible to get through.

Ugh, tell me about it 😱. I had a run-in with Tandara back when she was working with Mrsic-Novacki, and I dealt with that old sister of hers (middle-aged, black hair, blue eyes), who actually used to be quite sweet.
Honestly, thank goodness you mentioned Mrsic-Novacki moved. I remember seeing some sort of notice on the door about moving over to Dankov Avenue, but I had no idea the move actually happened. I don't get why they took the sign down from the old office now🙄.
Seriously, if you have her phone number or the new office hours, please shoot me a private message.
I managed to transfer over to the local West Health Center, and now I have to go see Mrsic-Novacki to get my medical records. I had no clue this wasn't handled officially anymore—I didn't realize I’d have to physically haul my own files over myself.
By the way, I switched to the clinic over in the Ivy district because everyone there claims to have over 2,000 patients; the doctor I moved to has 2,182, and she basically charmed me into being patient number 2,183.🙄.

Hi there,

I’ve finally pushed through the worst of my Shingles—well, at least the skin rash part is gone—but unfortunately, I've been left with these constant headaches and dizzy spells (and some dandruff, if we're being thorough).
So, I went down to Fran Mihaljević to make sure I hadn't developed any brain inflammation as a side effect. Thankfully, the doctor said everything looks clear there, but they did refer me to a neurologist to see if the headaches and dizziness are linked to the virus. If that doesn't turn up anything, the next stop is an ophthalmologist.
The thing is, I haven't really dealt with headaches or dizziness much in my life before hitting 35 (aside from that classic head spin you get when you stand up too fast), but now they're happening all the time. The dizziness, actually, is even more frequent than the headaches.
My primary care physician thinks this is all just a lingering consequence of the Shingles and that I just need to recover properly. Still, she went ahead and gave me the referral for the neurologist just to be safe.
Since my supplemental insurance covers it, I'm torn on where to go. If I stick to the standard route, the wait times are going to be endless. But with my coverage, I have some options—if I remember correctly, I could try Nola Clinic or maybe Grbavac. There might be other places too; I need to check, maybe Saint Catherine.

I should probably mention that the vertigo hits hardest when I'm sitting at my computer in front of the monitor, or while I'm driving. It also happens in shopping centers with bright neon lights, though it does happen in front of the TV occasionally, just much less often.

So, if anyone has any recommendations, I'd really appreciate it. 🙂

Looking for a solid GP recommendation near West Health Center,
maybe around the Barun Filipović Approach or Runjaninov area.
Main thing is I need someone who actually treats patients like actual human beings...

Hey,
I'm looking for a recommendation for a general practitioner around the Dubrava area who’s actually taking on new patients.
Honestly, I've been pretty unhappy with my current doctor for a while now, so I need to move myself, my husband, and our kid over to someone else.
Thanks.

I switched over to the West Health Center near Grizanski to see Dr. Đorđijana Macanović—I haven't actually sat down in her office yet (haven't had a reason to), but I got a glowing recommendation, and everyone I know who has seen her says she's a great doctor—really listens and isn't one of those meddling types who nitpicks everything...

I’m looking for some recommendations for a good general practitioner and a gynecologist (covered by Medicare) around the Srednjaci - Prečko area... ideally somewhere within walking distance of the tram line, if possible, and I'd love to hear a little bit about why you all think they're worth seeing...

I really ought to get an ultrasound done by an abdominal surgeon.
Does anyone know if there’s a private clinic or maybe a place like the Nola Clinic where I could get this done by an actual abdominal surgeon or a urologist?

Any recommendations for a psychiatrist in Chicago?

I'm on the lookout for a good general practitioner around the West Health Center, Gajnica, or Naperville areas... please send some recommendations my way!
Does anyone here have any experience with Dr. Rodbinić?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some recommendations for a good GP around the Spanish District, Precko, or Rudes area.

Thanks! 🙂

EDIT: Does anyone actually know how the process works? I've been seeing the same doctor for 20 years now, so I'm totally out of the loop on the whole procedure.🙂 thx

Has anyone here actually dealt with this doctor before?

Any way to get their contact info?

Does anyone have recommendations for a good GP or dentist over in Trešnjevka? It would be ideal if they were based out of the Trešnjevka Park Health Center. 😉 Thanks in advance! 🙏

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good general practitioner? I'm looking for someone reliable with a decent, professional nurse.

If you don't care about finding a dentist covered by Medicare, then I’d suggest checking out the Klanac clinic.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a private urologist in Split? 😢

It’s the same old story—you could go to Spanish, Precko, Rudes, or Jarun...
and honestly, I just want somewhere where you aren't sitting there for thirty minutes waiting for a single person to see you. It’s funny how things shift, isn't it? We had this one doctor who went away for her specialty training, and while she was gone, her substitutes were actually doing a fantastic job—they were attentive, they had a great approach with patients, everything was smooth. But then she comes back, apparently she let a nurse go (or maybe the nurse quit?), brought in someone new, and suddenly we're right back to square one: sitting in the clinic for hours on end, much like those endless waits we used to endure at the Ericsson clinic under the previous doctor...

Does anyone happen to know how I can get in touch with him? Is he still practicing, and if so, where is he located now?
Thanks!

I NEED URGENT ASSISTANCE

Look, I’ve run into a situation that is quite serious in nature—I need an email contact for a psychiatrist (or even just any general practitioner at a local clinic) so I can seek some advice. This is an incredibly rare occurrence, and frankly, I am not in a position to discuss this in person—at least not until I have some anonymous insight into what I might be facing...

PLEASE HELP, this is genuinely urgent. Any kind of "anonymous contact method" would be a lifesaver. THANK YOU.
