Seeking Kaiser Doc and Naturopath Referrals
I recently moved into the area and had to switch doctors at Kaiser, and leave my Naturopathic Dr. behind. I thought I had found a great ND until I found out she wasn't available for three months and was going to charge me $2k(!) - and I had a *terrible* experience with the doctor I chose from the Kaiser list. So I'm looking for recommendations for both a Kaiser doc and an ND in the area, and would be grateful for your suggestions.
Please let me know if you can recommend:
1) a Kaiser GP, Family Doctor, and/or Endocrinologist who is taking new patients, who has some understanding of auto-immune disorders and/or thyroid disfunction, and who is open-minded to the concept of holistic medicine.
2) a Naturopath who can prescribe natural thyroid medication, ideally also practicing acupuncture, who doesn't push a lot of supplements and has appointments available within a few weeks.
I'm hoping to find practitioners located in or near Berkeley, but I'm willing to travel anywhere from Richmond to Orinda to Oakland for the right person. Thanks in advance for your help!
