I am shopping around for a new Doctor. I haven't had to do this in over 30 years. I just need a general practitioner for my prescriptions and general check ups. I go every three months for that. Doctors accepting new patients I have heard will be the difficult part.
Changing opinions one mistake at a time.

I always have trouble adjusting to a new Doctor.

I had to do that twice in the last 15 years....huge pain in the backside.  May be forced into it again.  Have gone to Omni Med group - which has now become St. John.  Dr's I have been to are very good.  Dealing with the business side is painful.

I don't share my thoughts because I think it will change the minds of people who think differently.  I share my thoughts to show the people who already think like me that they are not alone.

I have been reading some chapters on surgery. Now I just need some people to practice on.

Omni Medical Group 81st & Memorial, Bruce Bennett is a good one.

It's now St John's.  Good group.  Has become more difficult to deal with on the business side.

I have allergies and every once in awhile I get sinus and ear infections. Can't breath, sore throat, green snot, the whole nine. When it gets that far, it usually takes antibiotics to clear up at minimum. I've tried "riding it out" but it gets far worse. On one of these occasions I went to Omni/St Johns at 81st and Memorial to see a doctor recommended to me. She told me it was no big deal but I was obviously one of those people who just comes in for prescriptions and won't be satisfied unless I get some. At this point I hadn't had a prescription filled in about three years. She was also giving me a prescription for the antibiotic Amoxicillin. I'm not an expert, but I'm not aware of any "Mox Junkies" or any big "Mox busts."

Just ticked me off, never went back.

Tulsa Allergy Clinic.

Green isn't allergy - clear is - green is when the infection has set in.  For those occasional times, the med centers are pretty good....

And Mucinex (and generic) works wonders!!  If you can tolerate guaifenesin...

My wife goes there, swears by them. I was treated as a wee lad. My allergies are about 10% of what they used to be and I could go back but the best I can hope for is a couple of percent improvement. Not really worth it.

i haven't had any issues with them on the business side, thus far, other than the RML behind there never getting my insurance information correct.  What kind of issues have you had?
