Aren't you in CH? What about Dr Rosen, Dr Plaut or Dr feldman? Some even use Dr Hurwitz. Don't know much about him though.

I used to work for Dr. Hurwitz (for a few months)
while I lived in CH and lady was on MAt. leave and then
later on summer vacation. This was over 12 years ago !!

He was really great and even diagnosed some things for me.
Some kids he found had dislocated joints and he fixed them himself.
He gave all the shots himself --in a great way moms can hold and hug baby/toddler.

He is only in CH a few days a week, main offices
are in Queens or BP or somthing, I forgot. So , that may be a deciding factor. Dr. Rehm was his back upother days, also limited hours.
(great location, though!)

What is PCP?

Quote:

PCP stands for pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. This serious infection mainly affects the lungs, but it can also affect other organs, including the skin. Without preventive medication, over 80% of people with HIV will likely get PCP. Early signs of PCP are trouble breathing, having a fever, and dry coughing. PCP can usually be treated with one of several different medications, including TMP/SMX (trade name Bactrim or Septra), pentamidine, trimetrexate and atovaquone (trade name Mepron). However, it's much better to avoid getting PCP in the first place

Brooklyn here I just googled it. Is this what you mean gr Confused

LOL Tefilah!
That'll teach me to answer a post addressed to me the first time I see it instead of pushing it off for later!

PCP= Primary Care Physician
It means a Doctor!

I'm looking for a woman doctor for myself. I used to go to someone in Boro Park but after one appt, I decided not to go back.

anyone?

my insurance is HIP but I dont necessarily have to go by that.

GR I personally love Dr. Plaut. He's been my doc since I'm a baby. I send my kids to him too.

In Rosen office, he is the only PCP. And I dont think he takes new patience.

In regards to Dr. Feldman- Silent

Good luck

Thanx hardwrkn.
my kids go to Plaut, and I know I can go to him for an emergency, but I would like to find a woman doctor for regular checkups, prescriptions, stuff like that.

Tefilah Very Happy
