> I can't believe it. I live near a major US metro area with several teaching U. hospitals. I can't find a pdoc who takes my PPO insurance.

> I can see a resident, but that didn't work well last time. I was recently referred to a pdoc, but he doesn't take insurance. Another isn't taking new patients. Another doesn't have any appointment openings until May. (Those are all about 30 miles from my home).

> Closer to home, I can't find out much about any pdocs.

> Anyone have any unique ideas for finding a good pdoc?
>I've been where you are and I feel you pain-really. I had to eventually go to the ER when I moved to MN because I couldn't get in to see a pdoc. So I wnet to the ER and said - "I need refills and I can't get in to see a doc." Luckily there was a pdoc on the floor and overheard about my difficulties and offered to take me in as a patient. I wish I had better advice...
Good luck
