My doctor quit!

I originally had an appointment for this past Monday for my three month followup, but all my rides are falling thru to get my blood work done, so I canceled and rescheduled last Wednesday. I booked a ride with a ride service for Monday and scheduled my appointment for the 22nd. When I got there, I sat in the waiting area. That's when the receptionist told me that my doctor had decided to leave the healthcare group entirely. They told me that they don't have a replacement yet, but doctors from their other clinics would be filling in until they do. First they let my original doctor go, then my next doctor quits. Now I might have to start over. I'm thinking about looking for my original doctor and switching to her if she's not too far away. I'm beginning to get a complex over this.

I lost my doctor once when he got arrested. I showed up one day, and they told me he was in jail. They ended up closing the clinic.

Did you find out why? Something related to practicing medicine?

Believe me, I've had to deal with the same. I can't afford to pay for health insurance, so I use the free health insurance. However, either providers decide they for whatever reason don't want to pratice medicine stop taking my insurance or any number of reasons. Doctors never got to know me, because none stuck around long enough. It was not fun.

I use the same insurance here. I suspect that's part of why I was removed from that office. I don't think she really wanted to deal with us. Although I liked the fact she also had a degree in psychology. She knew her way around the psychotropics I am taking for depression.

I am sorry. It must be so frustrating.

I am sorry to know this. I hope you can look for your original doctor and work with her

Seem like they could have told you before you get to the office.
