List of Recommended Doctors

I often get texts or frantic calls from family, friends and patients asking for a doctor whom I can recommend for a particular specialty. I guess it gives one a sense of relief or a feeling of trust going into a hospital or any establishment, for that matter, knowing that you have a person to look for and will take care of you. It’s the ultimate Filipino-style… “Sinong hahanapin ko?” or “May kilala ka ba dun?”

Well, here’s my short list of specialists whom I know to be reliable, competent and, hopefully, will not charge you “an arm and a leg” for a consultation.

NOTE: There are plenty of skilled and experienced doctors out there. This list in NO way says that these are the ONLY competent doctors available. This list simply states that these people are my friends. And if you were my relative, these are the people I would choose to take care of you.
