Looking for a New Primary Care Doctor - Southern NH

Submitted by AutumnSpecialist t3_10l0w7q in newhampshire

Hey guys, I’m a 28 year old female looking for a new primary care doctor in southern New Hampshire. I can go to Manchester, Nashua, Londonderry, Salem, Windham, Derry, etc. I currently have one in Salem and their practice seems to be really going downhill. I’ve been diagnosed with a severe anxiety disorder since age 7, I also have anemia which causes frequent visits….kindness/compassion just is lacking now. My favorite nurse practitioner left the office on top of that, giving me another reason to change. Anyone have good recommendations? Thank you all so much.

My mom is an RN in the NH area and she actually mentioned Andrea to me today when I saw her! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment; I’m going to look into her practice.

Just an aside, but if you're suffering from a "severe anxiety disorder", you might want to look into a mental health clinician instead of a PCP for treatment.

Or a practice with integrative behavioral health. They need a PCP for general medicine, however more facilities are integrating behavioral health in house now

Thank you! I’m in the lookout for a therapist/psychiatrist as well. I unfortunately had to combine that into my PCP years ago when my psychiatrist retired and if you or anyone also has psych recommendations I’m all ears!!

Bedford Family Medicine in Bedford is pretty good.

Noted! Where are they located? Amherst, if Google is serving me?

Yes, that is correct. They are all very good and very thorough.

A few years ago a coworker of mine just wasn’t feeling well, and her primary care physician blew it off. I suggested Wright and Associates, and they discovered she had a very rare blood disorder and needed a blood transfusion immediately. They quite literally saved her life.

I have been pleased with Dr. Hand in Londonderry.

That’s quite the name… I wonder how many times they hear “thanks for giving me a hand today” after a visit lmao!! Thank you so much. I will research them!

Altrix medical in Nashua is great. Nichole has experience with veterans with PTSD and other anxiety related disorders.

Thank you so much! That’s wonderful. I mentioned the anxiety not necessarily for mental health help I suppose, but more in a small background of myself to steer me towards someone who can be reassuring. I’m so grateful for all these comments. It’s been nerve-wracking trying to find a new PCP but checking my phone and seeing how many kind people took a minute of their day to comment and help me makes me feel less afraid to make a move. Thank you.

You're so welcome! It can definitely be annoying at best to find a new doctor, especially if you've had a bad experience with the last one! Hope all goes well for you!
