Hi, anyone who can lend insights. Am wondering if I can expect to find a decent primary care provider here and where. Also wondering what lab is best to get blood tests done as well as imaging and the costs. Is this a city where I can expect to get basic annual checkups including mammograms, or am I out on a limb? Any personal experiences with medical care here would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Bhavna, but his link is to a thread on insurance. I'm not looking for insurance. I want to know what doctors, hospitals and clinics are recommended for care.
