Insurance says I have to put down a primary care doctor.

Need some rec's for one in the mandeville/madisonville/Covington/abita area.

Don't really care of its male/female, don't like to wait so one that values my time as well as theirs.

I havent been to the doctor in like 8 years, so I guess I'm healthy.

Not a smart thing to do, it's good to go at least once a year to see about things you can't see without a doctor.

...Incubation period can be 7 years.

Find the best looking chick doctor so you don't get so angry about the inevitable wait

I've been satisfied with my doctor at the Ochsner Clinic in Covington, just north if I-12 on Hwy 21.

I've never had a long wait and am happy with the care I've been given in all my visits.

My PCP is Dr. Troy Davis but all of the family/general practice doctors are great there.

Same. I see Dr. James Fitzpatrick.

Please do not make this assumption. The thing primary care is good for is finding problems that kill/debilitate 10-15 years from now in people who feel fine. If you're young, appropriate weight, and active, once every 2-3 years is probably fine. 8 years is a bit on the long side. It's not urgent that you go in the next week or month even, but one bright spot of the ACA is that a once-annual no-copay preventative encounter is low-to-no cost for essentially everyone. I would take advantage of it!


Fiancée (has no soul, doesn't show up in pictures) did some work with Dr. Nathalie Mascherpa-Kerkow (goes by Dr Kirk-ow) and enjoyed her time in that office a lot.

Dr Linda Keefer.

In addition to her MD she also has a PhD in biological chemistry. She is brilliant.
