[quote=Anonymous]I just got home from seeing my OB. It took so long to get an appointment scheduled that I essentially missed a visit. My Dr was shocked looking through all my unanswered WTF messages that hadn't been routed to her. And then told me she is leaving the practice. It's impossible to get appointments- she says that she is basically scheduling all her patients herself because the new system is useless and the burnt out admins have been quitting in record numbers. She said they have shortages in L&D too because of burn out. I.. don't know what to do. I'm a FTM and while I don't need a ton of handholding, I'd like to not be fighting for an appointment and to maybe feel like my healthcare provider takes some responsibility for my care. And now I need a new OB anyway, at 23 weeks. I like that GW has a good record for low medical intervention and a strong NICU if I need it (and I love my OB!). Should I change practices and commit to delivering elsewhere? Should I change OBs and stay at GW/ just see whoever I can get an appointment with? I know GW isn't always popular on the forum, but I'm feeling freaked about leaving, finding a private practice that would take me, etc. [/quote]
