Physician Recommendations

[enveri.livejournal.com]

Hi! My husband and I just moved to the area, and my chronic breathing problems seem to be getting worse, so I... kind of have to stop putting off finding a couple of doctors.

I have surfed through the health care tags, and looking at my insurance website (Cigna) and yelp has proved to be a bit hit or miss.

SO! My questions!

Does anyone still use the Davis Square Family Practice and recommend it? I have seen lots of good things about Dr. Bershel, but I understand she's no longer at the practice..? I am looking for a GP that can perform my annual physicals (pap, breast exam, etc.) that will take the time to listen to my concerns and won't see a fat lady making excuses. I welcome any and all suggestions for other options; walking distance from Davis or Porter would be fantastic, as would evening/weekend hours.


Secondly, I need an allergist or an asthma specialist. I seem to contract bronchitis and pneumonia any time the weather changes, and I suspect allergies are at the root of my problem. The allergist I saw back in Illinois before we moved here really... did not inspire confidence, so I'm hoping that someone out there knows of a good one.

Thank you!

Dr. Menon (Bow St, Union Sq) is the best doc I've ever had, hands down. He uses science and test results to actually make my life better. When I can't get time to see him on a more emergency basis, I see his NP, who is a good, quick substitute.

Thank you! I'll keep this in mind!
