how far would you drive for your doctor?

Honestly, not more than maybe 45 minutes. The only time I would consider going a bit further is if they were a specialist I had been seeing for a very long time. Over a hour is bit much to drive for a doctor - even with being able to use the milage as a tax write off.

Probably an hour to an hour and a half.....like up to the cities....but after that I find a new one....my doctor that I really like left out medical facility....but he moved to South Dakota and I won't drive that far.

At one time I was ging to a chirpractor and he was less than a mile grom my condo. He moved his office about 14 miles away. It took about 25 minutes to get there. I no longer need the services at this time. I have no regular doctor.

Right now, I am traveling about 45 minutes more than you do.
Medicaid pays so little, it was impossible to find a doctor in town that would take a new medicaid patient.

I drive almost an hour to see my doctos as well. Not by choice but because of where I live I have to travel that far to get to the type of doctor I need.

The first therapist I had was really great, and he was the best one I have ever had. I don't live in the same town any longer, and if I decided to keep him, I'd have to spend hour and a half on transportation. Actually I would love to keep him despite the distance, but he is about to retire, and he only works a few hours per week. My new psychiatrist also lives in a different town, and I have to drive about 45 minutes to get there. I have thought about finding a different psychiatrist, because he isn't that great, but I am afraid that I can't find other one. The waiting lists are often very long (one year or more) and I don't know if a new doctor would be better or worse than my current doctor

Being Muslim i wanted a female to be my doctor when i was pregnant, add to that the fact i have no insurance (public aide) it became harder to find a female doctor accepting public aide. Harder yet since i was 6 months pregnant.. even more refused me since i was far along. (Reason? I was overseas.. and returned to the states when i was about 6months)

Finally i found one.. she was a freaking one hour drive... it was hell on earth lol.

Not a great thing to be forced to drive an hour to a hospital during an emergency... it plainly blows!

My husband and I don't drive, so we wouldn't be able to drive that far. We're lucky enough to live just down the street from the doctor's office, and down another street to our optometrist's office.

Hello,

I would probably only drive maximum 1 hour, any longer than that and I think that I would change. But it all depends on how good that doctor is, because some doctors are so good, that you don't ever want to give them up for someone else. Make sure you have a good day, Happy Lotting!!

Well, we just recently moved to a New home that we just bought, so I am a good 30-45 mins at least from all of my Doctors now, but since I also work 30 mins. away I have no choice in keeping these for now as well. If I ever decide to switch jobs I would consider switching if I am closer to where I live, but for now I will stick with the ones I have and hope for the Best with them as well.
