Has anyone else experienced this yet? I was basically told that since I am healthy, he could spend more time with other less healthy patients.
In the Brownwood location, there has been a “turnover” of doctors In the last 4 years I have had 5 Doctors, one only lasted 3 months
They schedule PA visits while they wait for the replacement Doctors to arrive
