Patricia:

I can give you info on a really wonderful GP at Mt. Sinai in Manhattan, who takes pretty much every insurance I know of. One of the things that she's best at is identifying the perfect specialist for wierd problems.

For example, I've got this wierd stomach problem. I had reflux (GERD), and I'm one of the lucky folks who develops resistance to the new anti-acid. So I had stomach surgery. And being really lucky, I'm one of the people who develops a rare complication from that surgery. I spent a year going to my old GP, getting every GI test on earth, and getting no relief. Then I tried the woman who's now my GP - two minutes in her office, reading test results, and she knew what was wrong, called up a researching gastroenterologist at Sinai whose research specializes in disorders like what I developed; she got me an appointment with him the next week, and in one visit, he worked out a regimen of medication that solved the problem for me.

If you'd like her name and phone number, send me private email.

-Mark
