[Highland Park] various containers for 35mm slides
by Jamie Phillips 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Hi all, I have a bag of small containers for good old fashioned photographic slides up for the taking. I suppose they could be used to store hardware or beads as well. They'll go in the trash if unclaimed, as there is no numbering system to tell me what kind of plastic they are. Please email if you're interested. Jamie jlpst48(a)hotmail.com

by Kelly Weinheimer 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

After taking the DIY route and installing hardwood flooring in our living and dining room, my husband and I have vowed to never do it again and want to hire someone to do our second floor. We've already purchased the flooring - now we just need a professional to install it. Recommendations for a quick, clean, and reasonable professional welcome! Many thanks, Kelly

[Highland Park] PCP recommendation results
by Kate Mast 06 Mar '11

06 Mar '11

Thank you all so much for the good advice!! Quite a few people asked for the results from the primary care physician results. I've pasted them below. I hope I got them all. Kate -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Joan Devine of Prime Care Medical or her partner Dr Marcy Jockovic. They have offices in Aspinwall and Oakand. Aspinwall is easier ro get to. Margaret Conroy at UPMC general internal medicine, 9th fl montefiore. Outstanding. 4126924888 I highly recommend Dr Margaret Morton. I switched to her several years ago & have been very satisfied with her and her nurse practitioner. She is located in Sq Hill near Minneo's. I've been using Dr Ellis for years. She literally saved my life http://findadoc.upmc.com/PhysicianBioQuery.aspx?ID=331&A= Bernadette Harris!!!!! I would highly recommend my PCP, Dr. Andrea Cooper. She operates out of Shea Medical Center which is next to Shadyside Hospital, and they take both Highmark and UPMC insurance. There are other doctors in the practice as well, so if you don't click with Dr. Cooper there are others that might be better. The number for the practice is (412) 623-2458. Dr. Wendy LeMarquand, East Liberty Family Health Care Center (near Home Depot). My wife loves her. Marcy L Jackovic, DO PrimeCare Medical Associates-UPMC Freeport Road Medical Center Suite 3 241-251 Freeport Road Pittsburgh, PA 15215 Phone: (412) 781-8566 Please note that she is a DO, not an MD. for explanation of difference: http://www.mommd.com/whatisdo.shtml All the women dr's at East Liberty Family Health Care Center are great! http://www.elfhcc.com/ Dr. Lori Stiefel. She's very good. No nonsense, caring. Sense of humor UPMC Shadyside Family Health Center5215 Centre Avenue Pittsburgh, PA, 15232 (412) 623-2287 I used Joop Offerman on Reynolds St. in Point Breeze, as does the rest of my family. We all love him. I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Linda Haynes, Renaissance Family Practice, Penn Hills,( UPMC). She is very upbeat, kind and caring, and I feel fortunate to be one of her patients. I believe she is an excellent physician. Dr.Kathryn Homrok at Metro Family Practice in Wilkinsburg 412-247-2310 A great PCP is Ellen Dillinger at UPMC Shadyside. Her number is 412-621-6166. She takes a lot of time with you and has a great bed side manner.
