I think the simple answer to the question is yes, your doctor can "fire" you, or more properly dismiss you. The doctor is obligated to provide you with ongoing emergency care to give you time to find another provider. The doctor is not obligated to do a routine visit or provide non-urgent care. Providers dismiss patients for many reasons, failure to pay bills, no shows for appointments, non-compliance, and commonly because the physician feels the doctor patient relationship is damaged. This damage may obviously occur due to the actions of either or both sides but once it is damaged the necessary trust is gone and it is best for the patient to seek care elsewhere. I would like to comment on a statement above that your new doctor should not see the clinical notes from your old doctor. I would vigorously disagree with that plan. Any previous notes may be important in ongoing care.
