I don't want to go to my 6wk post op visit!!!

I really dislike the doctor who performed my c-section.  I am not happy with her or the care I received.  The office made me schedule my 6 wk appt with her bc she was the doctor who did the c-section.  I don't trust her or her opinion on anything.  Do I really need to go to the 6 wk appt?  I feel good and my incision is healing nicely.  I need to make my yearly appointment with my regular doctor (who I love) anyway.  In your opinions, could I skip the 6 wk appt and just do my yearly?  Just the thought of seeing this doctor is stressing me out.

Just call and cancel it, but I'd schedule a follow up with another OB/GYN just to make sure everything is healing up. You have the right to see whoever you want (just need to know what your insurance covers)!

Don't cancel. Call and reschedule for another doctor.

I go to a practice of 6 doctors.  The one that was on call when I went into labor and then needed a c-section, was the one dr I don't like or trust.  I will reschedule on Monday.

Same here, after my c/s...they scheduled me with the Dr. who did my c/s. I didn't dislike that Dr. but I preferred another one. I cancelled my appointment and rescheuled with the one I usually see.

I called this morning.  At first, they refused to change me to a different doctor.  I asked for the office manager and explained my reasoning and she had the lady who schedules the appts reschedule me with MY regular doctor!!! Such a relief!! Thanks everyone!

i just want to say i'm sorry you had that experience, and i hope you receive better care in the future.

i'm really glad you are able to see a provider you are comfortable with for your post-op visit. the last thing you need right now is to add more stress over that experience. good luck to you!
