I once had a doctor that was so easy to contact---he was my kids pediatric GI---doesn't help me with this--but it was nice to have someone who was so accessible when we were going through some really rough stuff with several of our children.
getting through, yeah, I'm with you there----I had a hard time getting them to return phone calls returned--and if they call back, it is the nurse--so it has to go through her to the doc then back through the nurse to you-----you never know what has been lost in translation.
Maybe we should fax the doctors directly and follow through on everything they are supposed to do.
It always seems that if I like the doc, his/her staff seem to be in another world. So with you on that one.
I had to get some forms filled out that they just left them in the file and filed them instead of sending them in - grrrr... so they just do, don't think. And getting through is a nightmare!
glad to know they're not all bad. i actually thought the first one I saw seemed to know her stuff a little better--she just couldn't keep track of anything and would forget she was going to raise my meds--even though it was listed in my records---once----then never again---and it was never called in. Phone calls didn't get returned, The office was so unorganized.
I might consider going back to her if i thought the office was better managed and she was more on top of things---she came from back east, originally. She has moved to a town about 3 hours away---she used to be only 1 hour away----but I am going to have to travel regardless of who I see.
It can take a while - but not all endos are horrid... just a lot of them... :)
I don't know docs there... Hope someone can chime in.
