Looking for PCP recommendations – moving to Davis sq soon!

Hello!
My partner and I are moving to Davis square soon, and are looking for PCPs accepting new patients now. We are both foreign and a bit inexperienced (specially me!)

Any recommendations/advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!
Mo

Thanks! It looks like CHA & Mt Auburn are the best choices; although we were looking for something as close as possible to Davis sq. Maybe that's not quite possible.

Harvard Vanguard is a large local group practice filling a whole office building in Davis Square (as well as other locations).

I've been happy with all of my experiences at Harvard Vanguard -- I like the one-stop shopping.

Mt Auburn has affiliated physicians at Davis Square Family Practice. A friend of mine vouches for them as being queer and trans friendly, but I see a doc at the main Mt Auburn location.

Tangent: Is it a coincidence that your username is almost the Finnish word for "hospital"?

Total coincidence. It's my actual name, "Saira Ali," without the space.

I see Deb Bershel there. I like her very much. She always seems interested in ongoing good health all around, not just the physiological item that brought me in. But she always handled my specific items appropriately too. I'm a scientist, and I research and check stuff she tells me. It's always in line with the current and correct standards of care.

At Davis Square Family Practice, the only PCP is Deb Bershel, but you can see any of the nurse practitioners there as your doctor. Dr Bershel is most definitely queer/trans friendly and open to alternative techniques.
