Thanks for all the opinions pro and con....I have been trying to find a good doctor in TV since I bought my house two years ago. I have been to four so far and each experience has been lacking....so I've gone back to my home state and had my regular doctors do the usual tests (blood work, ekg, stress, colonscopy, pap, mammo, bone density, etc) Everything comes back fine (thank God). One doctor (recommended by a TV neighbor) told me that I had a heart condition and I could have complete renal failure at any time...I was shocked and jumped on a plane the next day to confront my doctors in my home state -- not only my regular doctors but a second opinion proved nothing of what the TV doctor said was true. Another doctor in TV told me he would send me for a different test each month "just to look for something"...I never went back. I am returning AGAIN to TV next month with all my tests done within the last two weeks, and trying again to live comfortably there. I would love to just find a good doctor thats not interested in scaring someone to death and start enjoying my new life in TV--I love it there!. I should mention that I am a widow with no family in the area. Its difficult to feel comfortable without a good doctor. I have excellent coverage with no copays but sometimes I wonder if the doctors are getting a percentage when tests are ordered when I have no complaints. When I ask for a recommendation from some people I've met in TV they say "I wouldn't recommend my doctor" or "I'm on my fourth doctor here and I don't like him". Please, do you have a good doctor's name to recommend?
