Family doctor?

[thesaint]

Looking for a good family practice doctor for our family. Have been in the area for over a year, but haven't established a doctor yet for annual check-ups/etc. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations for me? I hate to just pick someone randomly out of the phone book - like anything else, I know there are good ones and bad ones. Who do you like - who takes time and really seems to care about the patient - who really "knows their stuff?"

Thanks for your help....I can always depend on my 1branson board friends!

Since you live in Branson West, the Skaggs West Clinic in KImberling City would be close for you. We have lived here 15 years, and have been patients of Dr. Mark Schultz all that time at the clinic. He is very thorough, and takes as much time with us as we need. He's very friendly, attentive, and concerned. We wouldn't change!

Thank you!

Dr, Jermey Mabe is awesome takes the time to talk to you and doesn't rush the apts. His office is in Hollister

My personal opinion is that it is very hard to find a good/decent doctor now a days around any area it seems. I look for good bed side manners in a doctor and one who is not going to rush you just because they don't want to deal with it or act like they don't have the time to listen to what you've got to say.
