elikapekaParticipantCan anyone recommend a good doc for an older adult with several chronic conditions that need close monitoring and balancing of meds, including chronic pain management that requires narcotics? We have a family member that may be moving to the area. My provider is not accepting new patients, so need some recommendations. I did a search for past posts, but didn’t really find anything that fit the bill. Thanks!

JanSParticipantare you looking specificaly for someone in West Seattle? If not, I’d like to recommend Betsy Brown, MD in the Family Clinic at the Polyclinic. She’s good, she’s competent, she’s friendly, she knows her stuff…and she basically saved my life 9 years ago…got me a free mammo (I had no insurance), and they found two different tumors in my breast. She moved to New Mexico to do research for a few years, but missed Seattle , so she’s back.

elikapekaParticipantThanks, Jan – downtown driving may be a little challenging for them to get to Polyclinic, but it might work.
Any other suggestions? Please?

singularnameParticipantDr. Lester Sauvage Jr. He saved my life when a dozen other MDs said I was imagining my symptoms. He focuses strictly on geriatrics and, thus, weaned me off of him after 5ish years (he does calls at nursing homes, so his office hours needed to be spared for his elderly patients). I get emotional thinking about him. No better human being.
