davis_squareHi! 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!

Date: 2011-03-23 03:51 am (UTC)I do have to say that we did have a lot of trouble getting the office to call us back when we had questions, concerns about issues.
As for allergists, I was a patient of Dr. Joel Bleier in Medford Square for many years. I don't live in the area now so I don't see him, but he is amazing, and has been so spot on with his diagnosis. He's located in a small office building (1 City Hall Mall) sort of next to that hotel (forget that name). His number is 781-395-2922.
Best of luck in your pursuits.
