   Hi everyone. We moved to East Shore from Chicago in June and I have been putting this off for too long. I need a primary care doctor for myself and my husband. Mid thirties, nothing complicated, but I left a doctor in Chicago who actually listened and I would love to find that again. Any recommendations? Thank you in advance!

   Dr. Ike Eni on Pinecroft Drive. Internal medicine. He has been practicing for a long time and really takes the time to listen. We have been very happy with his care.

   I'll add a recommendation for Dr. Michalak on Panther Creek. He was an ER and ICU nurse before he went to med school and you can tell, he's very calm and has a great bedside manner. Really listens.

   We're new here too and just went through this search! We chose Dr. Sandeep Pinnapureddy at the Family Medicine Clinic on Forest Crossing and have been really impressed. The wait times are short and he has an excellent bedside manner. We found him here: https://woodlandsfamilyclinic.com/

   New here, be nice

   Good to know. One thing I like about Dr. Eni's office is that now that we are established patients, they can usually get us in for a same day appointment if something urgent comes up.

   I see Dr. Pinnapureddy too and honestly the biggest thing for me is he doesn't rush you out. I had a doctor before who made me feel like I was on a timer and Dr. P actually sits down and goes through everything. His nurse is really nice too which makes the whole experience better.

   I second Dr. Michalak. He spent a full 30 minutes with me on my first visit going through my history and never once looked like he was trying to wrap things up. My husband saw him a few months later and had the same experience. His office is easy to get to from Research Forest as well.
