[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 216809, member: 1233"] I think you are right about her not wanting to take responsibility for a complex case. She has only owrked about 1/2 tim for over 20 years. She is in Wed-Fri and about 1 weekend every 2 months. BUT with the short schedule she is the doctor who is most likely to keep up on research, which is one reason I like her. If the problem is unknown she doesn't just throw stuff at it, she researches it or cultures it and looks for the reason. I guess I will have to schedule jess with the other female doctor I like. She works fulltime plus, and that has its benefits too. As for charging to write a prescription, the doctor is the top pediatrician neuro in the state, hands down. He teaches, publishes, and has a huge caseload of extremely complex pediatic neuro problems - many of htem medicaid patients. He wants you to bring ALL your medications to the appointment and they will write 3 motnhs worth, or however many until your appointment. It is dangerous to skip appts, but it got to be a problem with parents of kids on medications that both had to be monitored and couldn't just be stopped. The parent would not come to the appointment but need all sorts of prescriptions written with-o the doctor monitoring things. So the fee, which MUST be paid in full BEFORE the next prescription is due and CAN'T be charged to medicaid, si the docs way of ensuring that he actually SEES the patient regularly - not just get roped into rxing and then having all sorts of problems because he doesn't get to see the kid. He actually used to go chase down some patients at their homes if it was severe and they missed 2 appts. I have heard from parents that by the time he is done with the adults, they dont' miss appts again. But he is ALWAYS great with the kids. Even difficult children. He kept Wiz laughing his head off for a full 45 min appointment - and we had not see Wiz smile in over a year at the time! The office rules are a pain, but the doctor WILL explain why they are there - so it makes it easier to tolerate them. Anyway, if ANY of you think neurological problems are going on, it may well be worth a trip here to consult this doctor. He truly IS this good. And he is FUNNY! When that was explained, I was OK with thtepolicy. It just can be a pain sometimes. [/QUOTE]
