Seeking primary-care doctor recommendations

[rozasharn.livejournal.com]

I have a non-LJ friend who is looking for a new primary-care physician:  a general practitioner who takes Blue Cross / Blue Shield.  If they're good with men's midlife health issues that would be a nice bonus, but the main criterion is that they should actually take you seriously when you report symptoms, and do a thorough diagnostic interview. 

And they need to be T-accessible; no car.

I too had very good experiences with Dr. Menon for a couple years, no problem, but... well, I don't want to go into it in a public forum, but he is a little odd, and one day he said some things that I found unprofessional and insulting, so I left, with many regrets.

Since then I've seen Dr. Gerard Coste in Cambridge, and I think he's just awesome. I'm a man coming up on midlife health issues myself, and have talked to him about some of these and he is super.

Thanks. I hope it'll be okay if I private-message you; unprofessional behavior is more or less why my friend is leaving his current doctor.

Dr. Coste sounds great.
