How hard could it be

You would think when you live in a big city that finding a new doctor would be easy, but it actually isn’t. I’m thinking of switching one of the boys’ doctors. I called four different offices today and this is what I came up with. The first practice I called at a very prestigious NYC hospital said they would not let me do a consultation with the doctor without forwarding our medical records and me bringing the boys with me. So that was strike number one. The second one I called said I could not schedule an appointment with a specific doctor. There is a team of doctors and they rotate around and you never know who you will see until that doctor walks into the office (also at a prestigious NYC hospital). Strike 2. The third one said they were not booking until September but did not have their calendar for September to book in. Huh???? Strike 3. The fourth one actually had an appointment available in July which I took but a friend of mine used to go to this practice and is adamant that I shouldn’t go there. Hmmmm……. I might have struck out. And maybe my original doctor looks a lot better than he used to!
