I went to my first ever GI doc and he was a @#$& so I told my family doctor and he sent me to a new one.
You are the patient and can pcik and choose who YOU WANT Seriously!
I changed my family doctor 2 years ago. I had to transer all my files to the new doc and pay a fee for all his notes and the test results in my file. The doc never agve me a hard time AT ALL. It was my choice to change doctors!
I did so mostly because everytime I went there he would talk to me for an hour about how all my complaints were caused by stress. His answer to everything was take a hot bubble bath and do some yoga. He was a great guy but I got sick of him doing nothing.
Within the first month of seeing my new doctor, he scheduled for for a sleep study (to get to the bottom of my insomnia), sent me for GI tests, etc, etc) I told him point blank that he was there to give me answers. And he did!
