Neighborhood Doc
It's been two years since we moved out of the city and the majority of my doctors are still in NYC.
It's not only about an emotional attachment (one of them was there at the birth of two my children and the passing of my mother) but it's also because I feel that they are of a different caliber. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I'm right but I don't really want to take any chances.
Having said that there are times when one needs a doctor for the small stuff and then it's not really worth going into the city. I asked around for months for a good GP in town and I didn't get very far. Either they had a waiting list or they were 20+ minutes away.
Today I tried another solution, a walk-in clinic. I'd never been to one and I kind of assumed the people who went there were the un-insured. Well I couldn't have been more wrong. It's a super efficient, professional doctors office, that saw me at a moments notice, took my insurance and actually helped me feel better. They're even open on the weekend. Would I go there with a life threatening illness or a chronic illness? No. However, I highly recommend it for routine and last minute problems.
