Default Internist needed

We are new to TV and need an internist asap. I have checked the older threads but am hoping there are more internists people could recommend. Please help!
Thanks

River's Family Medicine has added 2 physicians, Dr. Walker, a female, and I think it's a Dr. Christian. Dr. Christian is taking new patients. Be aware these doctors do not make rounds at the hospital but use the hospitalists employed by the hospital to care for their patients.

We have used Dr. Khai Chang in Summerfield for the past 7 years and think he is wonderful. He takes his time to talk with you and answer all your questions.

We like Dr Jay Shaktawak. He is a board certified internist with offices on Wedgewood Dr in Southern Tr and in Spanish Springs. You might check with Aetna and see if he is on their list

Question that came to mind:

Can you post some of the doctors in your network?

Members can give their recommendations based on your Aetna requirements?

Dr. Florian Gegaj, he's with Premier Medical, has been there about 8 months. Very excellent, takes time to explain everything, will answer any and all questions.
259-2159. Don't know if he that office takes your insurance, give them a call.

My husband has Aetna. He was in the need of an internist. Dr. Truesdale was highly recommended to us by several people so he called that office. Dr. Truesdale is not taking new patients so my husband saw another doctor there, who was also excellent. He is at Gastroenterology Associates at 13940 North Us Highway 441 Suite 801
