Okay,

So I don't like Western Medicine, I have a distrust of doctors built up over years of poorly handled medical situations w/ me and my family.

BUT, I've got some pretty killer health Ins through my job, and sometimes I need a test done, a prescription, or whatever, that can be cheaply covered by it.

So, if ya'll have a doc you like who might take the coverage I've got let me know.
I really want someone who has an awesome respectful manner and doesn't act all holier then god just because they've got a fancy piece of paper and a BMW.
Guess what buddy, I'm payin' you here, to me you're just like a plumber or mechanic.
If they're into Natural/Holistic Meds, even better.

Thanks,
JRC

planned parenthood is also just a medical clinic you know. they do everything and you're money goes to good causes like providing cheap healthcare for those that do not have insurance or fighting anti-choice legislation.

Not sure where you are located at, but I use Dr. Kevin Turner from Paseo Family Physicians. He is great and I've been going there for years. No holier than thou attitude whatsoever. He works really well at trying to relate to you. 59th Ave and Union Hills ish. 602-547-8184.

Also, I like the Planned Parenthood options for the reasons she listed.

I have heard great things about both PP and the ASU option, so if need be I would totally use those, but if I cna get some use out of the monthly payment I'm making to my Ins, I dang well want to take care of it.
For instance, I've had a long standing problem w/ my neck, I know I'll need xrays, and probably some chiro or other work done, and according to my plan I can get stuff like that done for a really minimal copay.

Thanks for the word on the guy uo @ union hills, I am in central phx, but for the right doctor, I would be willing to make that drive.

Anyone else?

My dad is a general practice physician. He's not your typical doc. He's a Buddhist. He worked at the AZ State hospital for years, so he's used to treating the medical problems of loonies. You'll fit right in. :o) My mom is a psychologist if you need to have your head checked, too.

His office is on 16th Street north of the Biltmore area. Dr. Brubaker.

I like the doctors Jef & I go to. They are no bullshit and get crap done in a timely manner. They are also friendly.
