I used the NAABT "treatment matching" system in hopes of finding a new doctor. I did end up seeing someone- but don’t really care for the guy. I waited for over 2 hours in the lobby before being seen…. though the office visit was reasonable at $85. Once the doctor came in, I explained my circumstances and desire to locate a suboxone doctor who could also serve as my PCP. (I am uninsured) I also explained the weird "leave of absence" taken by my former physician. He was quite arrogant, and boasted about his 20+ years clean as he drilled me about my "program." He also insisted that he ONLY treated addiction. (though his personal secretary said, over the phone, that he specialized in internal medicine and COULD double as a PCP)

So here I am… once again… in a predicament. I can always go back to him if need be, but I would REALLY like to find a GOOD doctor who I can also see for other ailments. One who I feel comfortable with, who presents with a non-judgmental, non-critical attitude. I was thinking about trying another physician…

Does anyone in the Macomb County/Oakland County/Detroit area have any personal suggestions?
