Default Low-Carb-Friendly Docs in Michigan?

I'm looking for a primary care physican in the Detroit Metropolitan area who is low-carb friendly and does not prescribe statins.

Anyone know of one?

I have a disabled sister living in Dearborn Heights, Michigan, who is getting terrible care from her doc. My sister is 62 and her doc has her on a statin drug, an Avandia-like drug (even though she doesn't have diabetes or even pre-diabetes), and about a dozen other drugs. I strongly feel her mental capacity has deteriorated over the past number of years largely due to all these drugs. Her doc has her on a (you guessed it) high-carb/low-fat diet.

Thanks for the help!

Did you find a doctor in MI? I have a suggestion if not, he is in Ann Arbor. Let me know. I am new to this forum so I just saw your post.

No, I never did. Ann Arbor might be a bit too far away as the staff at the home need to drive her there (as opposed to a family member or friend). Can you PM me with the name and number?

Thanks!

Bawdy, I tried to PM and it won't let me.

It is BioEnergy Medical Center and you can Google it.

Thanks! You only have 2 posts under your belt. You need to post a certain amount (maybe 25?) before you can PM. I'll check that out!

Sounds understandable. I am still trying to figure out this site. I found it from a link you posted on another site.
