[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not because  you didn't like the doctor,  but because of the Dr's scheduling, and because of the way the practice operates? I feel like I may be expecting too much with the current shortage  of Drs- and this doctor is a good doctor.  If I switch practices, who is to say this won't be the same elsewhere?

So, really happy with Dr, but when there's a serious problem, which I have,  there's really little way to be in touch and I'm seeing numerous (and I mean numerous) stand ins all with conflicting advice.  They know I am not their patient or will  be, probably so I'm being squeezed in likely as a favor to original doctor.  
If you have a situation that is an emergency,  how do you contact your specialty practice doctor,  or you possibly do not and just deal with it?

They may be a good practitioner, but they are not a good provider. A provider who overbooks and/or farms out your care to their (rotating stable of) NPs/PAs is not providing good continuity of care. It's also really challenging to find a consistent doctor without paying for the "privilege" these days.

Air quotes because it shouldn't be a privilege, it should be the way of things. It isn't because insurance fatcats and nonsensical education policies. Welcome to what disabled folx have known for a long time. [/quote]
