[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel bad for these posters. I have never made an apt with a physician and seen a nurse. Are you in HMO’s or what?[/quote]

This is a new trans. I have top tier PPO plan. Waited 3 months for an appointment with an MD specialist, then at the time of the appointment I was told that MD is busy and recommended to see NP instead. They also said if I choose to wait for MD, they cannot give me an estimate of time how long I would have to wait. I chose to wait for an MD. The wait was about hour and a half. For a follow-up appointment I was told that I can see NP only due to MD’s busy schedule, but if things “escalate” further I can get an appointment with the MD. I foolishly agreed, thinking if things escalated I would get to see MD quickly. Nope, things are worse now (NP was unhelpful at the follow up appointment and it was like seeing a random new person with far inferior qualifications than the MD) and now I will have to wait another 3 months to see the MD.

But, I am switching to another practice and never taking NP bait again. [/quote]
