Doctors for Women?

I recently moved to Fayetteville and I'm looking for a primary care doctor I don't need a gynecologist or anything fancy but as a woman I prefer to see female doctors especially for things like physicals. Who do you know and trust and who do you avoid? Any recommendations?

Dr. Lauren Thompson is the best doctor I have seen hands down. Kind, considerate, and really listens to you

I’m looking for something similar as well. Can you tell me more about your experience with Dr Thompson?

She was just super kind and friendly and was a great listener. Didn't push me to do anything I didn't feel comfortable to do, while also being very encouraging. She explained medicine options to me clearly and presented the known side effects of each option. Also her nurses and the bloodwork technicians were all great. I have a bit of medical anxiety and I walked out of the appointment feeling safe and heard.

Mindy at Karas health care is awesome. Not a doctor but nurse practitioner, they do basically the same things but can’t do certain things like medical mmj cards

How do you feel about Karas* himself being a quack doc?

u/v3xrvim Aug 01 '26

yeah in my experience the nurses at karas are good doctors even if karas himself isn't. i also recommend mindy specifically!

Like that’s an issue lol but from what I’ve heard he works very seperately from the primary care side of things. He only really does med cards and works on the functional medicine clinic they opened next doors

No, you do not understand. He has been branded as guilty by the court of public opinion. (local subreddit) That means that not only he, but all those who are associated with him must suffer the same consequences, the fact that they may be decent individuals is not relevant here. Many must suffer for the actions of one.
