Fara P. replied:
Have you checked with your insurance provider for doctors in network? That would give you a good place to start. If the provider doesn't have a list, your benefits manager should. I've never had an issue getting a new doctor, and never had to fill out a survey and wait 48 hours. I just started seeing a new GP last June. Dr. Grayce Arnold in Honewood. Mayfair Medical, I believe.
Helena Family Medicine-Dr. Remillard and NP, Sheri Hill!!! Love this group!!

Rachel S. replied:
Come back to Columbiana!! Dr. Megan Bullard!
Christine S. replied:
Same here with Dr. Ricketts. I heard he was at an ER clinic on 280 now. Don't bother with Dr. Howard in Calera. His office doesn't accept former patients of Dr. Ricketts. His office staff wouldn't explain their reasoning. Good luck because I'm looking too!

Dr.David Aizenman, Helena . Very Good!
John L. replied:
I'd always heard great things about Dr. Ricketts, so a couple of years ago I thought I'd give him a try. Called & got an appt. only to show up & be told that he wasn't accepting any more patients, but one of his "associates" would be glad to see me. I think the little "associate" was fresh out of school & his residency. He seemed pretty nervous & not too sure of himself. I was nice and polite with him, but I never went back again. Ricketts' office was new & ultra modern, but not the cleanest. The receptionists were unfriendly & never made eye contact, I was not impressed. Not surprised at all to hear he's long gone.
John L. replied:
Wow, just took a look at Dr. Ricketts' reviews, and they are terrible. https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/94310/Dr-T.+Mark-Ricketts-Vestavia+Hills-AL.html?page=2

I like Dr. Patel at BHC Pelham. Right across from the Publix at the tank farm exit. There's also an urgent care doctor there later in the evening and on Saturdays in case you need to see a doctor when she's not available. I really like that option as it keeps me from having to go to the doc-in-the-box if I get sick on the weekend, and my primary dr will still have all of my records since it's part of the same office.

As far as I know, no waiting list for new patients, and no matter what he gets you in quick. takes al kinds of insurance too. I called one morning at 11 (that was as early as I could get my sick butt outta bed) and they got me in at 1 on the same day!!
