I'm trying to find an individual therapist in the city who takes commercial insurance (Aetna/Cigna/United) but it feels impossible lately. Psychology Today directories are full of people who either don't respond, aren't taking new clients, or charge $250 out of pocket.

I've been feeling unwell for over two weeks with a sore throat, congestion, cough, fever, and GI issues. I've taken Covid/Flu rapid tests and they came back negative. I'm curious to know what's causing this illness.

I'm having trouble getting my ADHD meds refilled in Manhattan. I've called over 20 pharmacies and none of them seem to have the meds in stock or know when they'll be restocked. I've been on these meds since I was 14 and I'm starting to make mistakes at work because I'm rationing them. I live in Manhattan and have insurance with Kaiser in CA, but the bigger chain pharmacies haven't given me any pushback on the script, just the supply.

I'm 38 and just found out that I'm pregnant, so I'm looking for recommendations for a great OB in NYC/LIC area. Since I'm considered advanced maternal age, I'd love to find a doctor with experience managing pregnancies like mine.

I've been experiencing hand pain after a fall, but I'm not sure if it's a sprain or a more serious issue. I've found some options, but I'm looking for a place that offers both a physician visit and X-rays in the same building, and ideally at a low cost or for free.

I'm looking for a good vet for my cat in New York. Reviews are mixed, and I want to find one that's decently priced, doesn't order unnecessary tests, and provides straightforward, honest pet care.

I was sitting alone on my phone on my friends rooftop in FiDi around 5:30 today and heard some sounds above me in the gazebo. I thought it was just the wind so I ignored it. After a minute or two I looked up just in time to see something small and brown flying by. Wondering how likely it is I need to get a rabies shot now? I should have mentioned I think the sound were it flying around the top of the gazebo which is why I’m assuming it might have been rabid because it was acting strangely.

I'm an Australian retiree living in Queens, looking for plasma donation recommendations in the area. I'm in good health, eat well, and stay active, and I'm interested in donating plasma regularly. I'd like to know where to donate, how often I can donate, and what to expect in terms of compensation.

My sister has bipolar disorder and was living in New York on a student visa. She stopped taking her medication and was off it for around six months. She then suddenly blocked all of our family members on every platform and seemed to be experiencing psychosis. We contacted social services and a hospital in New York, and she was eventually admitted to the hospital. We're worried about her safety and condition, but we're also overseas and unable to bring her home.

I have a neighbor who smokes and diffuses essential oils every day, most of the day. The odors enter our apartment through the radiators, which are enclosed in a box. I've tried to get the building to fix this, but they ignored a demand letter from a lawyer. I'm trying to report this to 311, but I'm not sure what to report.

I'm looking to get Zepbound to help with my sleep apnea and lose weight. I've seen two doctors so far and they won't prescribe it even though I do have sleep apnea.
