Need a GP who is not a moron

[sgrizzle]

Last GP (General Practitioner, your "normal" doctor) I tried, when developing a sinus infection:
"There's nothing really wrong with you, but it looks like you won't be satisfied unless I give you some medication"
(I go to a doctor 1-2 a year, I am not "drug seeking" nor do I want a doctor who caters to people who are.)

GP before that I tried, after 3 hours in waiting room and patient room:
"I can't really find what's wrong with you, but I'm going to send you home with steroids and an antihistamine and see if anything changes"
(A trip to the Ergent Care revealed I had bronchitis, sinusitis and an ear infection which antihistamines make worse)


I know it's called a "practice" but I wish they would "practice" on someone else and actually diagnose me. I am currently fighting off what may be early phases of the flu but really don't know without a doctor who knows his/her butt from the 9th green.

Any suggestions? Prefer DO's and prefer near downtown or south tulsa.

Dr Joe Wolfe.....918 748 8111....I have sent countless people to him....He's no nonsense and old school......Located at about 46th and Harvard....Yes he is a D.O.....

Not a moron? That's asking a lot.  I don't even have time to get started on the rant about the "emergency" appendectomy my younger daughter had a few weeks ago. 

Try Omni South which is close to your house 81st & Memorial.  They've got a D.O. in their group, Bob Shepler who has been in practice for years.  They've also got some very competent M.D.'s.

My boss has been seeing a D.O. near St. John's for awhile and highly recommends her.  As soon as I see him this morning, I'll PM her contact info.

As your online doctor, I recommend preservatives. Eat a convenience store sandwich and call me in the morning.

I wish one had to go that far to find preservatives.  A trip to one's kitchen will probably suffice.

Dr David Moon. D.O. 21st and Garnett area. 918-437-6830.
If you cant get along with this guy your anti social. He is a great Doctor and has a very good staff.
He splits his time between here and Vegas. Monday and Tuesday he is at his former office in Vegas. Wednesday to Friday he is here.
He was the old man from Pawn Stars Doctor for years, and look how he looks. Ok maybe not a real good example. But he is a great Doctor.

First example I gave was an Omni South Dr from that location.

I am going to Vegas in a month. If I see him, is my hotel and airfare a medical expense?

I'd love to know which one.

My wife and I both see Dr Shunatona at Omni around 45th & Harvard.  He reserves a significant chunk of every day for appointments made within 24-48 hours.  His motto is treat today's sick people today.  I've never been able to not get in to see him same day if I call before 9a.

He is an MD, but I think he has a very Osteopathic philosophy.  He also doesn't take any freebies from pharm companies.

The entire staff there has a very laid back feel and are very personable.

My mother has gone to him for years and has nothing but good to say about him.  Is Steichen still in that group?

Sadly, I have left Dr. Shunatona. I just started going to a DO and she is actually trying to figure out what is going on with me. I got to the point where I felt like Bat was just phoning it in. I really really like him personally. He's a great guy. Maybe he's a better doc for men.
