[quote=Anonymous]Mine are in the office.

I’m having a better and different experience than you, OP.

My endocrinologist saw me in person. He offered me a virtual visit when he found out I drive an hour each way to see him. I welcomed that. I called for a refill request. No problem.

My GP saw me in person, and I can send refill requests through the secure website, which saves me time.

I saw a GI and I drove a bit further to see someone sooner but the experience was excellent. They ran on time and got me the help I needed.

Getting an MRI was hard. I had to wait and that delayed me getting care for a time-sensitive issue. I wonder if I should have tried going through the ER, since they consider my issue a medical emergency.

I saw another specialist and it IS hard tog et appointments but they squeezed me in due to the time sensitivity, so maybe I was “lucky” with regards to that.

That said, my previous GI was not available until February 2024, so I found a new one.

One type of appointment I need was not available until July. The doctor said tints turn in 2 weeks! Then the scheduler said no availability until  said August. Then, suddenly, mid-June worked if I got a test done at a different practice. So you also have to gently ask questions and ask for options or most desk people won’t think to tell you about them.
