[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it just "vibes"? You don't click? Do they have to do something like screw up a procedure, overbook and keep you waiting, talk down to you/ignore your concerns?

Where do you draw that line? Does it differ by specialty?

For me, if I don't vibe with a counselor or therapist, I tend to move on. GPs could go either way; I probably stay longer than might be best just because it's a familiar face in a familiar environment I'm used to. My Gyn is chronically late, but the practice is a baby factory so I assume c-sections muck up the scheduling.

Right now, I need a surgeon and I don't click with the one I picked. She's got great reviews, and is okay in-office, but she pads my chart with allegations that we discussed things I know we didn't and it makes her hard to trust. That said, we don't need to get along. I need her to perform the surgery so I can move on with my life.

So I'm trying to suss out when I need to go shopping for a second opinion, and when it's okay to just say 'eh, we wouldn't be friends but they're good at their job'. Suggestions welcomed, but try not to be a dick. I spent the day in the ER and I'm already pretty stressed out. Thanks![/quote]
Interesting,  two of my doctors also write a lot of stuff in my portal  notes that were never discussed. 
One uses AI for the notes, the other does not.

It's happened at most visits lately.  Not happy. [/quote]
