| If you love your general practitioner or internal medicine doctor, please share their name. I need to find a new one. |

| Good luck finding one who hasn’t gone concierge. I switched to One Medical. |

| Mine is an NP with John’s Hopkins Community Physicians — her name is Dana Fleischhacker. I really like her. See her at 6000 executive Blvd (I think that’s the address— on the corner of Exec Blvd and Old Georgetown Rd ) |

She is not a physician. That is what they asked for. |

Do you find that One Medical is more convenient than your old PCP? The annual fee isn't huge and I'll pay it if it means a lot more patience/time with the doctor and easier scheduling. But do you actually find that to be the case? I found a doctor I liked (based on profile) online but she's with One Medical. I'd hate to pay a fee to join and then not like her... |

No, I really liked my PCP and I actually followed her to her concierge practice. But then she decided to retire 2 years after that, so I had no choice. |

| I see Dana too. She is very thoughtful and spends time with you. Dr. Haywood, I think that is the name is also good. |

| I love Fernanda Porto-Carriero at Johns Hopkins Community Physicians. She sees patients across the street from Shady Grove Hospital. |

| I see Allison Hockman, a DO who practices at Rockville Internal Medicine. She’s really personable and reassuring and her approach is to be a “one stop shop,” for most of your medical needs. She has responded quickly to my questions via the My Privia app. The practice is huge and it’s a well oiled machine. I’ve never had a long wait in the waiting room. They have a nurse advice line, some virtual appointments, a walk-in clinic for sick appointments, and a number of specialists. I’ve been really pleased with my care. |

She sounds like a great doctor. Maybe I should switch to her as I’m not happy with my RIMG doctor. But I would never call that practice a well-oiled machine. It takes 3 days minimum to get responses in the portal and often it’s from a medical assistant who misunderstands, which then results in many more days of delay. Hold times are crazy if you try to call and I have not had calls returned after leaving messages. Maybe it’s my doctor but I think it’s the practice as my husband has had issues as well. Unfortunately, they are pretty much the only in-network option for Cigna near me. |

| I, I'm sure like many others, am not going to share their name, so they don't become over with new patients. Try looking on your insurance homepage, under "find a doctor." There you will find doctors in your insurance network, who are accepting new patients, so that you don't also have to pay annual fees. |

One Medical isn’t much easier to get in and see my dr but they have so many and they are flexible about video calls that when I want to see someone it’s easy to get in, if I am ok seeing someone else. |

Hi All,
I was wondering if people had additional recommendations for primary care doctors (or nurse practitioners) in Montgomery County. I tried the ones listed in this old thread and they aren't taking new patient. I'm looking for someone with a good bedside manner, as I'm sometimes a nervous wreck when visiting the doc. |

Or one that is taking new patients. |
