I rarely have a need for a Dr. but when I do, as Happinow stated would like to get in to see them in a reasonable time frame. The Dr I am using now has ad in the paper all the time advertising for new patients....yet in my opinion doesn't have time for her existing patients. Also, I was told on my very first visit to her we would work as a team. Nothing 'team' about this....she gets VERY defensive if I question anything. Again, I feel it is MY body and my life and I would like some say in my medical care.
Another thing that is SO frustrating to me, is you can't just go to a new Dr. and see if you like them. Most of them have this big long procedure you have to go through to see them the first time, not to mention the cost of everything they want you to do on an initial visit.
One of the reasons I was thinking about a NP was they seem to have more time to be able to sit down and discuss things with you.
Thanks for the referrals.....anyone have anymore?
