So i've got this whole conflict thing going on... on the one hand, I really like the idea of Doc Baker a la Little House - a true town/family doc who knows everyone and does everything
( Read more... )
By the way, I was just thinking about ped vs family doctor like... yesterday. I think when/if we move over to Cville proper, I'm going to switch the Pumpkin from her pediatrician (whom I love) at the pediatrician's office, to our family doctor (whom I love but never see because I am never sick). He's on the north side of town, near my work, whereas the ped office is on the west side closer to where we live now. Anyway. The thing with Cville is that there are a lot of relatively young doctors, thanks to UVA, which threw me for a loop when I first moved here, but I'm used to it now.
do you mind giving me the name of Kali's faboo pediatrician? recommendations are a good thing :) thanks! and perhaps if youse move to cville and we're in cville, maybe a pumpkin/zaza playdate is in order?
I think that sounds like a great idea :D. Her doctor is Gillenwater, in the Northridge pediatric office, and the other doc from that office that was recommended was Anne Ranney. I also met Dr. Quillian from the same office once when we had an emergency visit, and she seemed pretty nice, but that was the only sense I got from her. We didn't interact much :D
the northridge office is only about 5 miles from our future house, but of course the primary office ( the one by the hospital ) is like .5 miles, so we may end up trying to find a doc there cos it's just so close. Nice to have some options, tho. And since Z's all up-to-date ( can you tell i've been a dog owner, too? ;) on her shots, we don't need to actually find someone we like until December, though I'd prefer sooner rather than later.
While we're at it, got any good leads on dentists? :)
