Looking for PCP in Puget Sound area

Messages

I'm in the Puget Sound area in WA state and see an out of state ME/CFS specialist. I have medicaid and need a PCP that will work with the specialist. My current PCP through Country Doctor Health Clinic and it isn't working out. I'm in Tacoma, but can travel for good care. I have already read through the 50 pages here. Thanks for any new recommendations.

I have not been to the West Coast so don't know proximity of Seattle to Puget Sound but Ken Lassesen talks about this Seattle doctor on his website here: https://cfsremission.com/my-story/seattle-area-physician/

If she is too far away or doesn't take your insurance, maybe her office would know of someone in your area that does.

Also I don't know how old that page is. Some of the comments posted are from 2016 so that may no longer be current information but maybe if something has changed, you could still find her with an internet search.

Hope something works out for you.

Hey Jess, I'm not sure you're still active but I thought I'd give this a shot. My wife is in the same boat you were in and I was wondering if you ever found someone you liked.

Thanks!
