I need to find a new medical provider, because mine is not very good. They take forever to read labs, generally very dismissive of my concerns, and delayed addressing a now serious health issue that will require yearly monitoring and eventually surgical intervention.
So how did you find yours? Recommended by a friend, some sort of directory (what do you look for in that case?), did you just get lucky?
My large corporate employer spawned many support businesses, including the local medical clinic chain. Unfortunately, the clinic chain was bought by Optum, so they’ve been doing their utmost to make it worse. On the whole, they have a robust set of providers from many specialties.
One specialist i see is one of many I’ve had over time. The trick is to fire anyone who isn’t doing their job and move on to the next one. Eventually you’ll find one to stick with. I’d say I’ve had two good ones over 30 years for this specialty.
