Thanks to all you wonderful HP+ people who responded so helpfully! Responses presented in order received: 1) I like Lauren. I go to one of her male partners but have seen her a few times when they have been out. Very prompt, very attentive. https://providers.upmc.com/provider/Lauren+Anne+Aldewereld/1324277 <https://providers.upmc.com/provider/Lauren+Anne+Aldewereld/1324277> 2) I see Dr. Rebecca Behr. I was seeking someone much like you ask for and I have found her to be exactly what I needed. She welcomes me to be a very active participant in decision making. https://findcare.ahn.org/Rebecca-A-Behr?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=Local&utm_content=Provider&utm_campaign=1386932598-756 <https://findcare.ahn.org/Rebecca-A-Behr?utm_source=GMB&utm_medium=Local&utm_content=Provider&utm_campaign=1386932598-756> 3) Hi Janet, I’d be happy to see you or another doc in our direct primary care practices. Let me know if you want to chat -Natalie Gentile www.directcarepgh.com <http://www.directcarepgh.com/> 4) I see Lori Steifel at Shadyside Family Health and really like her. 5) We see Melanie Huntley , a nurse practitioner, at East End Community Health at Stanton and Negley. She fits the bill, although the office is difficult to get through to. But the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. If money is no object and you don't need to use insurance, Natalie Gentile is great. I think she is at the Nuin Center. 6) I would love to recommend Dr Laura Bucci at East Liberty Family Health Care Center. She is an osteopath, and took over my care from my previous pcp who changed practices. I was nervous about getting a new doctor but she spent so much time with me and covered every concern I had. 7) Dr. Natalie Gentile is a direct primary care doc that I use and love. As a nurse I worked for her for a year until this past March. Stellar woman, practice and focuses on lifestyle. Good stuff!! 8) I would highly recommend Dr. Natalie Gentile 9) Squirrel Hill Family Practice, Shady at Forbes. https://doctor.webmd.com/practice/upmc-squirrel-hill-family-practice-cdcb30c... <https://doctor.webmd.com/practice/upmc-squirrel-hill-family-practice-cdcb30c8-4703-e211-a42b-001f29e3eb44-overview> My wife and I love these doctors. Our primary doctor is Dr. Maria Dugan but we’ve been well-served by Dr. Roberta Bayshore as well. 10) Dr Natalie Gentile. She's awesome.

HI, I would appreciate recommendations for a female PCP who listens well, considers the patient a partner in treatment decisions, and understands the value of alternative healthcare options. Thank you. janet jai, MLA
