I'm looking for a "female" primary care physician. Any recommendations?
Lisa G. replied:
Sara Crawford. She is a tell it like it is gal and she explains things so you understand them, no question is a dumb question. She is a great Dr. she has been practicing for 30+ years. She is off Drake Street.

I agree with Starla Jordan. Love Dr. Dear and Sylvia, one of the office staff, is really nice. I have had issues with scheduling and overall "customer service" side of things. Also, I found out when I thought I was leaving voice messages they weren't g...See More

Dr. Dear in Sanford is a Christian & very personable
Natalie G. replied:
Dr. Jennifer Dear. Christian too.
Michael M. replied:
I like Dr Teona for me and my kids go to Dr. Dear. Both are great!
Amy K. replied:
Dr Dear at Sanford family practice-have heard good things about the others mentioned too.
Starla J. replied:
I have Dr. Dear, she is a good doctor BUT patient service is awful. When you call in it takes days if not weeks to get back to you. I had an appointment Monday and had to wait almost an hour after my a appointed time to see her. This is an every appoint problem.
Julie D. replied:
Dr. Dear is my neighbor and while I don't see her as a physician I would definitely recommend her. A very caring person who is a good listener and problem solver! She has given me lots of good advice plus she is a great neighbor!

I had Paula Klose in Midland. I liked most of the Dr's in that practice.

Totally recommend Dr. Danawala. He is very nice and straight to the point.
Mandi P. replied:
Family Practice A I think it is and the Medical Office Building connected to the hospital

Max and Violet are doing wonderfully, as always. Thanks for letting them stay with us!@Mandi...Unfortunately, Midland Physicians Group is what I am trying to get away from. They have shuffled me around between 4 different doctors in less than 5 years. I'm not comfortable with the instability they have, and I hate having to review every health issue with a new doctor constantly.
Jennifer A. replied:
I just saw Dr. Berlanga at Midland Family Physicians yesterday for a shoulder injury. He isn't my normal doctor there, but was able to see me quickly. I really liked him, he was friendly, knowledgeable, and took the time to really assess the injury and work with me on the best course of treatment.
Jennifer A. replied:
Oops, just ready your comment - is Midland Family Physicians on Wackerly the one jacking you around?
John M. replied:
Dr Frye at the 555 building, & also there is a good one in Freeland -- Dr Mckennon
Mandi P. replied:
Good luck with your search Marty. Unfortunately, in todays society with the implantation of Electronic Medical Records, Insurance craziness, and Obama care, I think it will be hard to keep the same Dr. for every time you need to go in or for longer than 4-5 years. I understand and feel the exact way. I just got Dr. Danawala as a new family Dr. and am hoping for some stability in healthcare.
Martin S. replied:
@Jennifer, it is actually the doctors offices that are connected to Midland Physicians Group (the hospital) that have been the issue. I'll check into Dr. Berlanga's office and see if they are the same group.@John, Dr. McKennon was the last doctor they made me an appointment with. I showed up to the appointment, and they had me down for a totally different month. Thankfully I called before the next visit, because they suddenly didn't even have me down for an appointment. Now, they tell me that it has been so long since I visited I have to go through a totally new intake exam before they can see me on a thyroid medication update exam! Takes at least 2-3 months to get an appointment...and then ANOTHER appointment would have to be set for the meds update. 2 office charges, plus a full examination charge instead of just a meds update charge.
Jennifer A. replied:
Dr. Berlanga is not the same group, it is on Wackerly just past the old Holiday Inn. I think you would really like him and their office seems to be pretty stable, I have had the same doctor there for over 15 years.
John M. replied:
Wow Marty thats terrible. Dr McKennon used to be our dr & he was excellent. But he went to North Carolina & i heard hea back. Oh well sorry about your woes
