I get to see my doctor once a year for check up, we have been together 16 years now and he is getting older, what do you do when your doctor retires? Do you go to a new young doctor or a middle age one? I hate having to change doctors.

Hi pat! That is the most upsetting thing to me to have to
get used to another doctor! I don't usually have the problem
of them retiring! They are usually very young and move on!
I have been with my latest doctor for the last 10 years! I
am afraid that if I get my Disability that I may not be
able to see him and I will die! I love him! He is the best
doctor in every way. He knows everything about me and has
the best bedside mannor! He was real young when he started
at the Medical Group that I go to and I was one of his first
patients! I loved him right away! And his name is Dr. Friend!
He is one of those doctors that is up on the latest of everything
and goes above and beyond for his patients! He really is so
special and I refuse to give him up no matter what! Honestly,
I would recommend a middle aged doctor. My doc is now in his
40's!

I will wait for my doctor to really retired & then seek a middle age doctor. Choosing a doctor means that the more senior he is in his pprofession, the more experience he has, the better & accurate judgement he can make.
