Oh Kelly, this happens all the time. My primary sent me to a GI that he thought was the greatest thing since sliced bread. After a 2 1/2 hr. drive to get there, and being treated rudely, I told my primary doc I would NOT go back to this GI for anything..........BUT, I gave him an alternative (based on friend's recommendations) that I WOULD go to. He reluctantly sent me and based on my return report now sends new patients to my (wonderful) GI. You just have to be "heard". If you and your reg. doc have a good relationship, he'll listen. In the mean time, I think he can order all the tests you need except for the colonoscopy.
