My insurance is changing. I need a new primary care doc.
I have a number of minor medical issues that need oversight. I see specialists but it really helps when the primary doc understands all the variables. Because of these conditions I am someone who does responsible research on my conditions so I want someone who is not put off by my googling my health conditions. I'm over age 50 and dealing with all the medical joys that brings. I'm not into alternative medicine, but I love the way alternative medicine doctors listen and imagine possibilities. If I could have that in a standard western doc that would be amazing. Berkeley area. Thanks so much in advance!
Dec 25, 2021Seeking physician who incorporates holistic health, Berkeley
–Jun 16, 2021Hi, all - I recently relocated to Berkeley and I'm looking for a primary care physician, preferably in Berkeley, but I'm open to North Oakland and Albany as well. I need someone who incorporates holistic health into how they practice and helps patients manage their health, rather than treating only once something is seriously wrong, and I'd like to be able to use my insurance (right now it's Cigna). Thank you!
Jun 16, 2021Primary care physician in Berkeley who takes Cigna
–Feb 24, 2021Having a difficult time finding a primary care physician in Berkeley who is accepting new patients. We just moved to the area and really need to find a physician because I have an ongoing medical issue that requires maintenance. I have Cigna PPO. I'll settle for seeing an endocrinologist, since my insurance will allow me to see a specialist without a referral but would prefer a family practitioner or internal medicine doctor who my wife can also see.

It took me a long time to find a PCP I liked, I I finally found Avis Logan, MD with John Muir Health in Berkeley. I, too, am over 50.
I love my PCP and I think she is as you describe. I am also 50 and have a few minor medical issues. I don't know if she's in the UC Care network, nor do I know if she is accepting new patients. Dr. Emily Caro-Bruce at One Medical in Berkeley. https://www.onemedical.com/providers/emily-caro-bruce/
