Hi all

I need to find a new doc office and fast the one I go to is horrid.  I called hte middle of last week to my pharmacy as they request to get meds refilled and one needed a PA in order for my insurance to cover it...well on day 2 now without my singulair for my asthma....not only that But I called and asked them for a new script for my B12 shot...they are saying they never had an order from my current GI (my old one in RI before I moved has had me on B12 since my surgeries in 2007) but they wont refil it until I have fasting labs done to prove I need it and I have to wait til after my normal shot day would be...

I also call them for things such as today I called since I still have a sore throat (3 days now) think it is allergies but I do also have a few small white patches on my tonsils (I was very sick last year with what "looked like" strep or mono but all tests proved nothing.  I also have been aches and pains all over for 7 days now where it hurts to lay down but I am so exhausted...what was their answer well call back friday if you still feel that way.

I am just so frustrated but I fear if I switch doc offices that I will run out of my pain meds or the new place wont script them out to me

Some doctors are like diapers, they should be changed frequently and for the same reason.


Honestly though, I hear you. I had a truly awful GI about 15 years ago. The man was a menace. Between him and his ego, there wasn't enough room left in the exam room for the patient. I've never, ever had a doctor laugh at a question before.

I've had doctors that fail to return calls on important things like yours, getting prescriptions renewed, especially things like pain medication.

I've always felt that my health is way to important to trust to a doctor that would act that way. I know it's a hard step. I guess the best thing you could do is get your med's refilled, and then go out looking.

Good luck

Talk to some nurses and ask them for a referral to a good family doc. Thats what I did and I love my family doc. I asked the nurses becuz they work with these docs day in and day out and know their personalities. Hugs!
