[quote=zk]Thanks for the offer, flu, I really appreciate that.
I haven’t checked with UCSD; I generally use Scripps. They’re close by and in my ppo. That’s a good idea though. Expand my search a bit. Problem is, I can’t really tell just by looking at their online info. Most of them will have propaganda on there saying how thorough their exams are. But in real life, it generally turns out not so much.
If your doctor knows someone he/she thinks is really good, I’d love to hear it. Thanks.[/quote]
Zk, PM me about specifically what you’re looking for (condition, location(s) of body where you might be concerned, any additional details of the condition or potential of the condition you might be concerned, and I’ll ask my doctor for a recommendation.
he doctors at UCSD all tend to be patient and take there time, mainly because I think many of them do it for the research/education benefit. The biggest drawback of UCSD is it’s really hard to get an appointment right away, because I guess they see a lot of people.
Your PPO I’m fairly certain will include all the doctors in UCSD, since they pretty much take every insurance (which probably explains why they are busy). Plus it wouldn’t hurt to get a second or third opinion (except maybe you pay for the additional visits)..Then again, if you’re like me, you end up hitting the maximum out of pocket expense every year, so what’s an extra doctor visit or two or three? 🙁
