I need a new primary Physician. I've been lucky in that I have been healthy the last 8 years and hadn't been to see mine since 2007. Apparently they frown on that and since it was that long I would be considered a new patient and they aren't taking new patients. I ended up at a Doc in the box in Mcalla yesterday for 4 hours for a sinus infection and acute Bronchitus. My blood pressure was up and I need to get with a new primary to keep an eye on it. Who can ya'll recommend in this area or around the Hoover area. Thanks.

Doc on jox. Dr. Mark Rickets...sounds like an ok guy on the radio.

If you want to wait hours to see a nurse, use him.

If you never listen to a word I say please hear this. Do Not Use Rickett's.

He and his incompetent staff were the ones who just about let me die a few years ago when I went into renal failure.

I listen to wjox everyday and I like Ricketts segments but he comes across as to much of a rockstar to me and I don't want to see someone like that.

Honestly, a lot of the "good ones" are not accepting new patients. I would however HIGHLY recommend anyone at the Baptist health center on hwy 31 & stadium trace in Hoover. I can't tell you how many personal friends of ours use any of the doctors there and are incredibly happy

My dad, brother, and I use Dr. Crenshaw at Seale-Harris Clinic. He is will shoot you straight without a bunch of unnecessary BS. My dad describes him as a mans doctor. They are down at St. Vincents. I believe he is taking new patients.

You probably need to be thinking OB-GYN.

If you don't mind using Baptist Health system, Dr. Lawrence Lee (Lee Internal Medicine) in Pelham is an awesome doctor. That's who I use.

If I was I would have just called you to see who you go to.

Dr. John Morgan, right there in Hueytown. I've dealt with him on several patients that stuck with him when he moved from Springville and have had nothing but good results.
