Just moved back to my hometown after a month in the hospital and a new diagnosis that will keep me out of work for awhile. I have been searching for a primary care physician DESPERATELY for the last month. I keep getting turned away from doctors who claim to be accepting new patients because I am already sick with a chronic illness. Guess who owns all of the practices in this area?

If you're looking for a doctor and you AREN'T sick, by all means, check out a Genesis-owned practice. If, like me, your health is less than stellar, I recommend the Intermountain Healthcare System out of Salt Lake City, UT. Too bad about the commute.
