Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone in Northern Virginia who is happy with her family doctor/general practitioner would PM me the info (just the name is fine if you're in a hurry, the rest should be easy to find.)

I don't know if any doctors aren't "busy" but I would like to avoid that assembly line feeling. We're happy with our pediatricians and don't anticipate switching, so I'm fine if a family doctor would disagree with me about when to start solids or whatever. What I look for in doctors are people who mostly recommend standard medical treatment, and certainly don't push "alternatives" (I'm very cautious about herbs, etc., so I'd need to trust a doctor a lot already before I started taking advice to use them,) but can understand if you don't instantly sign up for whatever treatment they recommend and perhaps even appreciate if you do a lot of your own research.

Thanks!
Theresa

I'll just post what I sent Theresa --

"We use Dr. Jeffrey Nekoba (family practitioner) at Huntsman Medical Center in West Springfield and love him. He totally fits your wish list in every way. He always treats us like we're the only people on the schedule, we're never rushed, and he'll address more than one family member's problem under a single visit. He won't push anything at all -- he's very mainstream in his own recommendations, but we don't vaccinate and he's fine with that, too. He's very respectful of parental decisions and research. The practice phone number is 703/440-0107."

Hope this helps anyone looking for a good FP.
