Looking for a good women's doctor in Detroit (east side)

October 30, 2009 7:45 PM

I'm new to Detroit - can anyone recommend some good internists or ob/gyns on the east side or maybe ferndale/royal oak areas? Indian village, eastpointe, grosse pointe, st. clair shores, roseville would be most ideal. I have a HAP HMO, not that I expect you to know what your doctor accepts, but just in case anyone answering happens to have it.

Also, my idea of a "good" doctor is someone who actually listens and partners with you by presenting options rather than ordering tests without discussion. I'm looking for someone who is open to or practices integrative or alternative medicine; a focus on women's health would be great too. For the record, I don't get sick often, and other than uterine fibroids, I don't have any major health issues. Since I am new, the HMO assigned me someone whom I never want to see again. I need a doctor in whom I can have faith that s/he is looking out for my best interests, and someone who is not threatened by patients who are proactive about their own health. I should add that while I prefer a woman, I'm not opposed to having a male doctor if he fits the aforementioned criteria.

My wife used Women to Women on Harper (I think) south of 10 mile. They were great for our first pregnancy. It's 3 women docters. Dunno about insurance.
