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?

When you say you've "had it" with your doctor, what is it that he/she has caused you to take this position and make a change? Was the doctor incompetent? Was the doctor one you felt just went through the motions? Your doctor must have really done something or didn't do something that brought you to this point. Anyway, good luck.

Misdiagnosed my sons impacted wisdom teeth as a throat infection causing weeks of pain and requiring emergency surgery. Prescribed a way too high dose of birth control to my daughter. Not great hours and completely closed at lunch. Sometimes their phone system just doesn’t work at all and you get a busy signal... wtf. And the front desk is completely plastered with repetitive passive aggressive signs that make you feel like a criminal who is trying to escape the copay, lol. I should have done this ages ago. @soar2newhighs

I agree-you should have done this ages ago. Again, good luck with your new choice of care giver.@Fallflower
