Some recommendations on doctors, dentists, and other medical specialists..  

---++ Doctors

   $ Heather Jenkins, [[http://www.chaldecott.bc.ca/][Chaldecott Clinic]], near Dunbar and King Edward: I've used her as my general practitioner for the last year, and she's been great.  Very good bedside manner, willing to fit you in quickly for an appointment if you really need one, seems to know what she's doing (as far as a Philosophical Doctor can tell!).  Not that I've availed myself of the service personally, but the clinic specializes in Ob/Gyn.  Main.SteveWolfman - 28 Jul 2005

     I haven't had many dentists, but I've been happy with her (recommended by a couple people in my choir).
     She and her husband Raymond are both UBC alumni (ugrad and dentistry) and are still involved in the
     dental school here.  She strikes me as being knowledgeable when I ask her questions, but very
     laid back about treatment. E.g., in the Bay Area, I went to this dentist who immediately said I had
     severe gum recession (which I do) and needed gum grafts.  He referred me to his friend the oral surgeon.
     The oral surgeon agreed with the diagnosis, said it was due in part to my bite (which is messed up a bit),
     and referred me to his friend the orthodontist.  The orthodontist said I definitely really needed braces,
     probably for a long, long time; then, I would get my gum grafts.  When it turned out that my student
     health insurance wouldn't cover orthodontics, they all agreed that I should wait until I graduated,
     when I'd have better dental coverage.  In contrast, when I showed up here, Dr. Leung noticed I had
     really bad gum recession, said it was probably from brushing too hard, told me to brush less hard
     and floss more, and said I didn't need gum grafts (at least not yet, and maybe never).

     He's very high-tech, friendly, competent. He was voted best dentist in Vancouver for the past two years 
     by the Georgia Straight readers' poll. :-)
