Re: Need a new primary care doctor

Good Morning,

I am not too sure where you are located but my PCM is at the Sentara
in Williamsburg, VA and he has been great doing any referrals I need
and any blood work that's needed is done right in there office as
well in the lab since it's connected right to the hospital things go
rather well as far as getting the results. If you are in the area let
me know and I can send you the info for him. If you aren't just
maybe ask around at the clinic you are planning on using for your
surgery. They will know which Drs will refer and could probably be a
lot more able to help you with who is good and who isn't. Just a
thought! Good Luck to you I sure hope it all comes together!

they have a scale that is well suited for large people that would
also be a plus. Since my insurance requires 6 mos of charting my
weight before they will consider me .Any suggestions are welcomed.
