Family Practice or PCP dr

I haven't been to my PCP in about 2 years and I wasn't thrilled with him anyway so I'm looking for a new one in the North Hills/Franklin Park/Wexford area.  Suggestions?  I usually go to Dr Heil at Northern Area Family Medicine but would like to see a female

On a different note - all you that are no longer having babies - do you see your PCP or an internist regularly now for routine tests or check up/physical?  I still see my OB/Gyn but thought I should see a more general dr on a regular basis as well.

Re: Family Practice or PCP dr

  • I go to Northern Area Medical Associates in what I guess is Wexford?  it's right across from Children's North.  I have seen both Dr. Senz and Dr. Shobana, they were both very nice (females)

    I still see a gyno separately for that annual exam.

  • Our primary care is Franklin Park Family Practice. They are off Brandt School in the office complex behind where Howard Hannah is. There is two doctors, Dr. Neal Schorr and Bridget O'Rourke. I have been going there for years. I also like that there is a Quest lab right next door.

  • I'm in Franklin Park and see Dr. Butter (pronounced "booter") in Bradford Woods opposite Atrias.  She a solo practitioner and very thorough==she spent an entire hour with me the first time I went going through my family history and even did an eye exam.  I'm done having babies, DD is 4.  I still get GYN checkup to get my b/c pills and order my mammogram and then see Dr. Butter for checkup, bloodwork.
  • I loved seeing Dr. Gold (he has offices in Zelie, Passavant, and Cranberry), but I know not eveyrone is crazy about his bedside manner (very short, and to the point). But, he always kept to schedule and as long as you went for an annual once a year, you didn't have to go in if you were sick; you could just call in to the nurse and they would call in the script for you.

    He also has a female doctor on staff, who is very nice.

    I do still see an OB/GYN, which reminds me that I have to find one down here. Maybe now that we're all back in a school schedule I can get on that one. lol
