Recommend an MD in NE Tarrant?

[Rex B]

This board has been a good source of recommendations on insurance people and a few others.
I really need to change my GP. The guy I use now seems to be punching a clock.

Looking for an MD who keeps current, acts like he's interested in your well-being, and is located in the Keller/NRH/HEB etc area.
Prefer a doc who is not nearing retirement age. If he's Pro-2A so much the better.

Anyone here suggest a doc you are happy with?

Dr. Debra Kreig, 817-491-0223. She is the GP for both of us at Crossfire.

Dont have the exact address handy. On Heritage Trace, just east of I35. Address is in Keller. I would say it's Ft Worth. But, at any rate, she is ALL THAT, as far as I am concerned.

My hot button is - don't keep me waiting for hours, and then when you finally see me, only spend 5 minutes, and not listen to anything I say.

I have never had to wait longer than 15 minutes, except for one time when I was a walk-in with an ear infection. She is attentive and thorough, and about my age (which I won't say) but not near retirement. How's that?

sounds good, and that's real close to home. - thanks!

Oh yeah, forgot to mention:

It would be real nice if one could book appointments and also contact the office via email.

They take appointment bookings on their website.

He's been my doctor ever since he took over my previous doctor's practice when he died unexpectedly. I get along real well with him, and he takes a genuine interest in your health and happiness. Plus, he's open to creative thinking when dealing with uninsured people like me. I like the guy.

Thanks TAM, he's on the short list.

Thanks TAM, he's on the short list.

You're welcome.

Regarding the 'pro-2nd Amendment' part..... I honestly have no idea what his sentiment are in that regard. I know that he is a religious man (Catholic) and believes that God has given him a gift to heal. I am a religious person myself (Baptist, in a sort of roundabout way), and I appreciate a physician who has the good sense to confess that a Higher Power guides his hands, intuition, and intelligence, and that those things are a gift, which can be taken away just as easily as granted by an Almighty God. It lends and sort of humility, and it makes him genuinely care about his patients because, even though his practice is a business, and we've talked about that, each patient is an individual entrusted to him, and that is a trust he takes seriously.

I know that when I was last there for a consult about the previous week's blood test results, I was asked to step on a scale and had not come dressed expecting to have to do that, and I was strapped as all get out. I mentioned to the nurse that I didn't want to weigh anything that wasn't "me." She said, "that's OK, just empty your pockets on the counter here," (I was carrying Gock 19 and a spare mag). I answered that "the problem is, it wouldn't be entirely legal for me to do that," and looked her in the eye. There was a moment of confusion on her face, and then the lights came on, she smiled and said, "OH! Well never mind then, step right this way" and ushered me into an exam room.

Dr. Del never mentioned it to me, so I don't know if she mentioned it to him or not. But most times when I'm in there, I'm carrying a Maxpedition Fatboy-S Versipack, and it is desert tan and very tactical looking. I've never been asked why I carry a bag in there, or what's in it. If they object, they are very discreet about it. In any case, Dr. Del is Filipino, and for what it's worth, I've never met an older Filipino man who wasn't both religious, conservative, and a gun owner (the first AR-10 owner I ever met was a Filipino guy I worked with in Los Angeles). I know that is stereotyping, but I have a lot of respect for Filipino culture because it includes a long and respected warrior tradition.

Anyway, if I wasn't comfortable with him on the 2nd Amendment thing, I wouldn't stay with his practice.
