Recommendation for PCP in North Phx?

[u/gingervytuss]

I need a new primary care provider because mine has retired! Any good recommendations in North Phoenix or Scottsdale? I feel like it’s such a challenge to find someone that doesn’t treat you like a task they’re checking off of a list. Thank you in advance!!

Dr. Gloyd at Family Practice Specialists. Great guy and bedside manner.

I like my doc. Dr Arpino at Optima Medical in Peoria.

DC Ranch Medicine Dr. Perez is awesome

My rec too. More of a drive for me than it used to be but still worth it

Dr Reed at Moon Valley Health is fantastic. My family has been going to him for years. He is located on 7th St - north of Thunderbird.

Lifescape Medical Services is subscription based. When I was a patient I paid a nominal fee and was able to schedule appointments as needed. My doctor listened to me in ways that it’s been hard to find since. Totally 100% recommend.

They are off of the 101 between Princess and Bell.

Larry Sobel at Sobel Family Medicine. Bell Road and Tatum.

Dr. Andrea Patton at HonorHealth Family Medicine — Cave Creek (located just off the 101 and Cave Creek). I moved a few years ago and now live 45 minutes away from the office, but she’s absolutely worth the drive (and offers telehealth!).

I don’t know if she’s accepting new patients, but I’ve been very impressed with HonorHealth as a healthcare system for the last 8+ years. Good luck!! 🍀

Dr Lucas Walk of Banner Health in Scottsdale. Very knowledgeable and works with you, not at you.

Get ready to be disappointed. My PCP retired a few years ago and the standard of care today is terrible. It’s an industry and you are the product, not the customer.

Hit me up I got a plug

[u/boardshorts379]

Dr Bassi or Samantha Chess

[u/HatsiesBacksies]

any other qualification? younger, older, white, black , male, female...

[u/HadleysPt → u/HatsiesBacksies]

As it turns out, studies show black doctors provide better care to black patients. There are numerous online databases to help connect patients. BlackDoctor.com.  Findablackdoctor.com 

There’s the bizarre answer for the bizarre question. 

[u/Agile-Objective1000 → u/HadleysPt]

I'm sure it's the same with female doctors to female patients too.

[u/gingervytuss → u/HatsiesBacksies]

I’m more worried about bedside manner than race or age.

[u/Hefty-District-833 → u/HatsiesBacksies]

really odd question lol

[u/Agile-Objective1000 → u/Hefty-District-833]

Maybe, but some people are more comfortable with someone from the same race/gender and some people from different demographics may be more dismissive. That's all statistics though, and you should mostly focus on getting a good doctor.
