Marching

I’ve written about searching for a new primary care doctor after the one who took care of me for years retired. For months, I searched the local medical community to find a physician with an opening for a new patient. This city, in which I live, is having a population explosion that’s slammed all its medical providers. My fruitless search had me feeling completely out of luck; I quit counting on finding someone locally and considered looking for a doc in Portland.

Suddenly, I got a tip suggesting that the local Mosaic Medical might have an available M.D. I called Mosaic, and truly, that was so. Moreover, I had a choice of being treated by a woman or a man. So, I became a new patient with that providing organization.

My first appointment isn’t until early December. This story is in case a local reader might need a new provider. Considering that Mosaic gave me a choice of genders, there must have been at least two doctors available.

Another good thing from my perspective is that the clinic is nearby. I’ll not have to drive across town for appointments–a welcome plus.
