New to the area and am looking for a good doctor (GP) on the island. By good I mean: smart, a straight shooter, and a good listener. Any ideas would be appreciated....

One suggestion is Dr. Chaffin at Franciscan (I have GH) as he is also an Osteopath. In my experience, he has been both a good listener and a straight shooter.
Liz S. replied:
Gary Koch at Franciscan. Long time islander and is also a tenor who performs with Vashon opera. Great GP. My husband and I both adore him.
Kirsten F. replied:
I also really like Doc Hans Peterson at the clinic. He's a great listener, kind, smart and compassionate.

I love Dr. Fulton. Your choice of providers is limited by which insurance plan you have, and the providers' waiting lists.
TREE DOCTOR NEEDED: My poor Coral Bark Maple needs help. Just noticed the trunk is split! Prettiest tree in my front yard. Can it be saved? Who should I call?

Adam Tharpe (Sue's husband) cabled our maple!

Adam Tharp fixed our Japanese Maple when it split like that

You can reach Adam at 2068536339. He's had a lot of success fixing cracks like that.
Hans Y. replied:
You may be able to keep the tree for several more seasons by using a combination of bolting, bracing, and or cabling, combined with careful lightening of lateral branching. In my opinion as an ISA certified arborist, from what I can see of it in the pics, the crack in that crotch is severe and has created an opening for decay which will unlikely be able to be successfully mitigated over the long term.

ISO. Apple health insurance provider.
Franciscan does not accept Apple health. Are there any doctors on the island who do?
Thanks for the assist.
Breeze H. replied:
If you can't get in to Fulton (who we love), Vashon Natural Medicine clinic could be an option (they have a few MD's and NP's). I'm not sure they take Apple though!
