[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Find another Dr. This is not acceptable.[/quote]

Of course. It's in acceptable, particularly if one parent is a royal PITA![/quote]

Yeah that’s not how service providers work. OP needs to take their business elsewhere and probably[b] file a complaint with the state board.[/b][/quote]

Based on what? Doctors can determine that a relationship is not effective and decline to continue, so long as they provide a bridge of emergency care for a month -- unless they are ER doctors. Every other doctor can say "no," and that is a part of standard practice. There is nothing to complain about.

But of course, what OP is experiencing is a great reason to change providers. She's just not going to get anyone in trouble for doing so, not the doctor and not herself or her kid (that is, there should be no retaliation for doing so -- of course!).[/quote]

The doctor isn’t refusing care—and money—  they’re trying to dictate which parent participates in the care of their child. That’s absolutely worth filing a complaint over. If the doctor just fired the family there’s no complaint to be made. [/quote]

They are refusing care through a given individual. I'm sorry that you do not like it, but they get to do that. They get to say "I will not work with this person." Fine to make a complaint, but it's not going to mean anything to anyone at all -- don't let that make anyone more mad. [/quote]

I’m not the OP. A doctor cannot bar a parent from an appointment with a minor while providing care which is what this doctor is trying to do. That is why a complaint to the state board (in addition to finding another doctor) is appropriate,  because the behavior is a violation of the parents rights. [/quote]
