[QUOTE="Tiapet, post: 520159, member: 455"] It's ridiculous but on the other hand I recently ran into something similiar with my primary. Only she didn't say it like that. I had multiple issues happening at once and her reply was more to the point of a "time" issue allotted for each patient per visit. They only have so much and even if I stated all of them they can only slot out so much per patient anyway so she said it would take a couple of visits but that didn't mean I couldn't go back the next day or something like that. In some cases I think it's the whole "management of patients" by the insurance companies in general now a days but in other cases it is a money issue. So often we see patients crammed in a day to get as many as possible to recoup lost money since they aren't getting the money they once got. I know it's a hassle finding another doctor and I'm not I'd want to. I think this is a wide spread problem. I'd probably take the chance and throw out the issues to the dr once there and see what happens. At least you may get answers. If not, well you didn't have to dr shop and you still have to make another appointment anyway with that dr or another! Make a second appointment immediately just incase so your 1 step ahead already. You can cancel it if things are taken care of it. [/QUOTE]
