We found a general practitionar about two years ago just out of convenience. We love that we get in and get seen, and the dr is very personable. However, he does not listen to me about how I feel about medicine and so freely prescribes whatever. I want a dr who doesn't perscribe medicine so freely and looks at other things that could help first. I'm not completely against medicine, don't get me wrong. I just think it's odd that I haven't had antibiotics in over 7 years and haven't been sick, and he's perscribed something everytime I've seen him in the past 12 months (and I've stayed sick). I think there's a correlation.
I live in the Keller/N Fort Worth area and have a 2 year old and teach, so convenience is important for us. Anyone? We've been going to the Baylor clinic on 377 in Keller, and we just need something else. Thanks!
You might want to look for a D.O. doctor. They treat the whole body and they hardly prescribe medicine. My kids have a D.O. pediatriction (sp?) and he is great on not giving my kids medicine if they don't need it. I don't think we need all this medicine for everything because our bodies will become immune to it.
Here is a link if you want to know what a D.O. is.

You are over in my area. We see Dr. Walker, DO at Southlake Family Medical. He is moving to Irving but there is another doctor taking over for him there and a few other DO's to chose from there, (and some MD's...they also have a great doctor for kids...Dr. Benzick).
My husbband has seen Dr. Kirby at the North Tarrant Family Practice at Basswood and Park Vista. The address is 5445 Basswood Dr, Ste 650, FTW, TX 76137. The phone number is ###-###-####. Their website is www.northtarrant.com.
I have not seen Dr. Kirby but my husband seems to like her. I have seen Dr. Haefeli and felt like he listened to me. I too prefer natural options first.
Feel free to call me at ###-###-#### if you have any questions.
Good luck!
D.
