Need doctor rec. Big time.
My dentist sucks. Please recommend yours.
I haven't found a family doctor that I like in the Tampa Bay area. I am long overdue for a a yearly 'check-up. Please recommend yours.
My period is wacky. I need to see the lady-bits doctor. The last guy I saw at USF Women's Health had me waiting for over an hour to see him and then my appointment was like 3 hours long cause he would leave and take forever with patients. I don't have a day to devote to seeing the OBGYN. Please recommend yours.
Re: Need doctor rec. Big time.
I love my old dentist, Dr. Allen at Clearwater Dental Associates, but not sure if you feel like crossing the bridge.
No other recs, but I really thought this was a clever BFP announcement
See issue #3 above. I've gotten my period once this year. Um... yeah, kinda hard to get a BFP here. HELP.

My dentist is in Orlando so no go there, but it's only every 6 months and H's parents live there and he's been going his whole life and the dentist is awesome! It's a father/son practice. I hadn't gone in 15 years and needed a root canal and crown, and now after a lot of initial work (several deep cleanings, redoing 25 year old cavities and the afformentioned crown work) I have the best teeth ever. If you want to drive he and all the ladies in the office are worth it.
I don't think you'd like my PCP because you like more holistic, and she's really not. But she's very thorough and I really like her, been with her for 10 years and she keeps me ticking.
My lady parts Dr is amazing and I highly highly recommend! You can see her at St Joes Womens Hospital and her name is Dr Lorainne Bevilacqua. I've seen her for 10 years and she is the best.
Sorry to hear that! My FL lady doctor go-to is Sharon Welsh. She's a nurse practitioner and just moved to Visionary Centre for Women in Feathersound. Good luck, and I hope it happens for you ASAP!
My gyno is Dr. Long at Absolute Health and Wellness. I have been going to her for 7 years and they are in St. Pete but even after I moved to Tampa I still continue to go there because I am very comfortable. I never have to wait more than 10 minutes to see the doctor and she is SO nice.
For a dentist, I go to M. Walker which is in the Westshore Mall near Macy's. I hate going to the dentist and have a huge feat of teeth stuff, ha.. but they are so nice there and make me feel comfortable.
My dr. is in north Tampa so I'm not sure if that is far from you.
All my doctors are across the bay from you.
I hope you find replacements soon.
We go to Dr. Cromer for a family DR. We like him and he is in west Tampa. As for the Dentist and OBGYN mine are all in Hernando county. I love them, but, that might be a bit far for you. Dr. Holbrook is my Dentist and I have been to many dentist for myself and with H and he is by far the best. IMO
Any recs in the Central Tampa area is good. I'm hoping to get out of this area of Tampa/Brandon as fast as I can.

In that case, I highly recommend
OBGYN: Bruemmer Nancy C MD
2713 West Virginia Avenue, Tampa, FL 33607-6327
(813) 873-9700
For a dentist, I go to see Dr. Marnie Bauer of Bauer & Associates. She has an office on Hillsborough Ave. and another office in South Tampa off Manhattan Ave. There's another doctor in her group, Karen Burns, who my H sees and really likes. They're great and have a very friendly staff. Their prices were also much better than previous dentists I had been to, which was great. I have dental insurance and some places still charged me a lot.
For an OB-GYN, I see Dr. Valerie Mechanik. She's near St. Joseph's Hospital and she's amazing. I never have to wait too long to see her and she seems very thorough.
