I have noticed a couple of threads lately about trying to find a Doctor. I too am in this boat. Currently I go to the local University of Michigan Hospital Satellite clinic to their physician “group.” While I can’t say anything specifically bad about the place or the Dr.'s I will say that it is generally pretty impersonal. The Dr.'s there certainly have no clue who I am or what I do. And of course, I get the typical “your crazy” look when they find out about my hobbies.
So, I have decided to find a new Dr. And I have been looking for one that is local and at least has an interest in treating runners for general health (not necessarily a specific injury). I have tried “word of mouth” research with limited success. I guess everyone here in Howell/Brighton that I know thinks their Dr.'s are great, but no one really knows of a Dr. that seems to meet my criteria. I have also tried researching on the internet for specific Dr.'s. But I am not sure that I am using the proper search parameters to narrow it down sufficiently.
I was hoping that someone here could help. Is there is a directory of physicians that I have overlooked? Are there any good search parameters to use for the internet? Does anyone know of a physician in the Howell/Brighton, MI area that seems to be what I am looking for?
