Can you recommend a good general doctor?

There are a ton of these threads already, though admittedly the neighborhood favorite(s) don't meet your primary criterion. Still, I'd have a look. People sometimes recommend Maggie Carpenter, as one name I remember hearing. I've heard decent things about Dr. Joan Stroud, on Clinton and Atlantic, though that might be a little far.
The neighborhood's favorite by far and away seems to be Dr. Raffinan, who's now on 8th Av. and Lincoln Place, and I know he is sharing the practice with a woman, though I haven't heard anything about her. Sorry I can't offer anything more specific.
