Physicians in Boston, MA Area?

[jules]

Hi,

I am looking for a new primary care physician in the Boston area. I've called DAN for a physician referral. The recommendations I have aren't really located close enough for routine care. Does anyone know of a physician in the Boston area that has diving medicine knowledge?

I'd appreciate any leads.

Sincerely,

Julie

Good luck. My PCP is at the Lahey Clinic in Burlington. When I called looking for a doctor, I asked for someone with knowledge of hyperbarics/diving medicine and they had no clue what I was talking about.

Hi, Although not specifically a diving med. doc. My previous doc. who has moved to
Boston served me well, helping to manage my diabetes and other health concerns.
Always bearing in mind that I do dive, types of meds, side affects relating to diving.
So if you can find her, I would HIGHLEY recommend. Dr. Irene N Cody.
Hope this helps.

Hi Scubabear,

I don't believe that Irene has as yet started practice in Boston and it is likely she will be in a hospital-affiliated position when she does.

Best regards.

Contact Boston area dive clubs. They often know good local physcians who are dive medicine savvy. For example:

Boston Sea Rovers http://www.searovers.org

New England Aquarium Dive Club http://www.neadc.org/abc_whoweare.html

Triangle Divers http://www.triangledivers.org/triangledivershome.htm

Contact Boston area hyperbaric facilities. For example:

Norman Knight Hyperbaric Medicine Center http://www.meei.harvard.edu/shared/oto/hbo.php

Best of luck.
