Wow - thank you friends and neighbors!
 
I received lots of responses to my request for recommendations for a new PCP that will be covered by UPMC insurance.  

A couple of folks asked that I share the list so here it is:

-I really enjoy my dr, Margaret Morton in SqHill.  I really haven't had any problems, but she always takes her time with me, and has a great sense of humor.  She's independent, and participates in BOTH insurance plans.

-I use Dr. Molly Conroy and she is part of UPMC insurance. She's at
Montifiore, is very thorough, smart and I really like her.

-I like Dr. Lori Steifel at Shadyside Family Health Center on Centre Ave in Shadyside. She's very good, very nice and responsive.  Free parking. Evening hours available

-Marty Seltman at Metro Family Practice 412.247.2310

-Marcy Jakovic, at Prime Care Medical in Aspinwall. She's a D.O. and part of an excellent group.

-I recommend Dr Peter Bulova w UPMC internal Medicine. He is excellent! 

-Metro family practice:
4122472310 (my best friend -who is a family doc works there) Allison Aiken
I am a family doc also, but my office is in greentree (I live in hp)

-We use Raquel Buranosky who is on 9th fl of Montifiore Hospital in the Dept of Internal Medicine.  She was a student of my husband's who is a physician.  Very bright and nice.  The best!!  Very interested in Women's Health Issues

-My PCP is Natalia Morone  (http://findadoc.upmc.com/PhysicianBioQuery.aspx?EPCDID=16719) She is really nice, always listens carefully and respectfully to any concerns. She is at Montefiore.

-We like the General Internal Medicine practice at Montefiore Hospital.  I
have had two doctors there (one left to pursue a different opportunity a few
years ago) and have thought both were very good.  I was not made to wait in
the office for long periods of time.  Since it is a large practice, if my
physician is not available when I need to be seen sooner than later, there
is someone else who can see me.  412 692-4888.  Also, I can always find
parking at the Montefiore garage and they validate my ticket so I think I
only pay about $5.00.  My PCP is Dr. Carla Spagnoletti but there are several
excellent doctors in the practice.  Dr. Spagnoletti sees me in person when I
need a hands-on consultation, but she is also very responsive to on-line
questions and prescription refills.

-My wife and I use Dr Carolyn Ellis
We both think she's a great PCP

-Dr. Marcy Jackovic, D.O.  412-781-8566 in Aspinwall.

-I have seen Dr. Michele Organist for years - she's wonderful!  She's easy to talk to, quick to smile, thorough, definitely hands-on, communicates well.  She used to be part of West Penn's system, now is with UPMC - her office in the medical building near Soldiers & Sailors and has a free parking in a garage shared w/ the Holiday Inn Express hotel.  I've recommended her to at least one other friend who's now also been a long-time patient and really likes her, too.

-I am very pleased with Dr. Smuckler out of Renaissance Family Practice
in Glenshaw.  The phone number is 412-487-4422.  Actually, any of the
doctors have been pretty good there when I've had to see someone else,
but Dr. Smuckler has really been a lifesaver....literally!

Thanks again Highland Park!
