Ann Arbor Area--rec your Primary Doc

Hello bumpies, I live in the Ann Arbor area. I am having trouble TTC and my primary doc won't refer me to an OBGYN or RE. I am very unhappy with my treatment in her care, and am looking for a new primary doc who will work with me and understand my goals for my healthcare. I have an HMO through BCN, so I need to declare my new primary care physician before I can see them. Please rec yours, because names on a list don't give any indication of the kind of care they give. TIA!
Me: 26 DH: 32
TTC since 08/2010
Anovulatory since at least 12/2010 (probably longer, unDx)
Dx PCOS 3/2012
SA 5/25/12--normal
June 2012--50mg clomid+TI--BFN
July 2012--50mg clomid+Ovidrel+TI--BFN, lining at 5mm
August 2012--5mg femara+Ovidrel+TI

Re: Ann Arbor Area--rec your Primary Doc

  • I could be wrong on this, so you should double check, but I'm pretty sure that you don't need a referral for an obgyn.  I only just started using an HMO a couple months ago (BCN, as well), though, so I may not know what I'm talking about.  You probably would need a referral for an RE, though, and I'm not sure if you could get that referral from your obgyn or if it would need to come from the primary care doc.

    I can't give you any specific names, because I go to the Canton office, but I have never heard anything bad about the IHA.  They have offices in AA, Canton, Plymouth, and I think Brighton, too.

  • I'm actually with IHA currently. Thanks for the feedback though, I'll look more into referral requirements.

  • I see Dr. Tohan Popp with IHA in AA and I LOVE her! I highly recommend any doctor in the is practice. I can suggest Dr. Moyer, Dr. O'Leary and Dr. Popp from experience. GL!

  • Ditto PP on Dr.Popp.  I love the rest of the docs in that practice, too. There is one that specializes in infertility (Moyer, I believe?)
  • Thanks, ladies! I saw my primary care doc on Friday and she gave me the go ahead for an obgyn, so I will be meeting Dr. Popp tomorrow. Thank you for the recs and feedback.
