[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 381335, member: 1233"] I could understand it more if it was the big head honcho doctor doing this. These are not practices where the docs names are well known. They are under the umbrella of a Children's Hospital (the worst for this), or another big clinic with a lot of satellite offices. Though I did also have it at a small local place where none of the docs are terribly well known in the communtiy. I have had to really dig to find the info I have, along with asking a LOT of detailed questions via phone to adult docs with the same/similar specialties. The adult docs are aware of the pediatrician docs because they have to work together with the teens because some things need coordinated care as you change from kid doctor to adult doctor. I have tried the things you have suggested. I end up feeling so defeated because the attitude I get is that if I have a problem with it then it is my problem and my kid doesn't need their help in that case. Maybe it is just a way to keep from having to really do anything while getting the most appts and fees from patients and insurance. Insurance refuses to step in, as do the hospital or practice admins. Everyone's attitude has been that if we have a problem, we are FREE to leave. I hate battles like this over stupid stuff that doesn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
