Have you ever had to break up with your doctor?

I’ve had it with my family doctor so I’m taking my kid to a new doc today. But first I have to go and get his records... we’ve been going there for many years and he’s a nice guy, but not the best doctor. It’s going to be so awkward. What do I say?

I was facing this recently, when my doctor didn’t seem to be overly concerned with my diabetes management (she wasn’t even the one who initially discovered it, my gynecologist made the diagnoses). I was going to tell her I needed an endocrinologist, when she left the network and the decision was made for me. With a friend’s recommendation I found a new doctor “more familiar with the new type of health challenges I was facing”. 🙂

Wow. Good thing you switched. This doc is similar, very blasé about things that I think should get addressed! Goodbye to him 👍@bijouxbroussard
