Guest Guest Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 First of all, please save your breath if you're planning to ask why anyone would ask a bunch of strangers on the Internet to recomment a doctor. I'm not going to base my decision solely on what I read here, but I would greatly appreciate some feedback in my search for a new general practitioner. The doctor I recently started seeing (took over for my previous doctor) is a "nice guy" but he's now misdiagnosed me for the 3rd time in as many months. Not exactly someone that I feel comfortable putting my life in his hands, especially in light of recent more serious symptoms for which he hasn't been able to come up with any answers. Obviously need to find one who's accepting new patients (that ruled out several that friends recommended), and would prefer one who's affiliated with Lourdes although I'd consider UHS. Not asking for the impossible, just someone knowledgeable, very thorough, and one who listens. I have good medical insurance, and I don't care whether my new doctor's male or female as long as I can trust him/her. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kermit Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Dr. Linda Fort on Mitchell Ave in Binghamton. She is very thorough, knows when to refer out, and will spend as much time with you as it takes to help you. She also a friendly bedside manner, and will always get you in if you aren't feeling well. I've had others who when you call with something wrong, tell you to go to the walk in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Does she go to Lourdes or UHS? I know she goes to UHS..not sure about Lourdes. But she is WELL WORTH having as a physician..she used to be a Nurse and got sick of working with incompetent staff members..went on to medical school and is proving to be one of the best doctors out there..she shares an office with Doctor Kennedy..

I agree, the office staff is caring and follows through. I also like that it is a smaller practice. The office is homey and it's a personable atmosphere. You don't feel like a number there.

Guest Best Docs Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Tom Martin---Lourdes front street, the best, and does do manipulations.

Guest Guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I like Dr. McCarville on the Parkway. He listens to you and doesn't rush you out the door, which is nice. The office does seem to run late on appointments pretty often if that's an issue to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Used to Witness it.. Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Sae Joun Park - Mitchell Ave. Very thorough. TWS Avoid S Park like the plague..ask any Nursing staff member at any of the local hospitals..he's just soooo bad. We always hated getting his patients..they always seemed to never get better..

Guest Guest Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I've heard / seen good things about the following being able to look at various symptoms and make an appropriate diagnosis: Frank Eder, MD (UMA Front Street) Jungsil Cusimano, MD (Oak Street, Binghamton, Private Practice), Lidna Fort, MD (Mitchell Avenue Bing. Private Practice). Tom Martin, DO is also great, but unfortunately he isn't taking new patients. Even his waiting list to be a patient was closed last I heard! It can be tough to find a doctor that you like and feel comfortable with, good luck with your search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Linda Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Endwell Family Physicians are excellent, tho, not affilated with Lourdes. Dr. Holler is good, he cared for my mother for many yrs. and was so good with her and listened to everything she had to say. Both Dr. Patels are good and Dr. Bowling. Also, the nurse practioners are very good. I have seen several of them over the past 30 plus yrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
