Crappy deal...Dr. related

in Babies: 9 - 12 Months

We just found out a few days ago that our GP is leaving family practice; I'm so bummed! Sad

She's such an amazing doctor; calm, comforting, and really takes an interest, and that's not including what an amazing knowledgable doctor she is.

She's the one that told me I was pregnant, saw me for all of my prenatal appointment, was there for Logan's birth (well, she was in the parking lot when he arrived; he came a bit faster than expected...but she did stitch me up), has seen Logan grow from a "in mommy's belly" baby to a walking, happy one year old toddler. Not to mention helping me though what we thought were going to be pregnancy-preventing fertility issues, and helping DH through his severe asthma issues.

*sigh* I understand where she's coming from: she's got 3 kids of her own and family practice is too demanding, but it's SO freaking hard to find a doctor is this city! I don't even really care about me; I can go to a walk in clinic for BCP prescriptions and a pap test once a year, but Logan needs a good doctor to take over.

So, starts the hunt for a good GP.

Sorry...just a mini -vent. Over now.

    I can see why you're bummed, that would suck! I think I would cry if my Midwife left. You get so emotionally connected to them through everything. Good luck finding a new GP!

    That sucks!  Can she recommend someone else that she trusts?

    Care providers that great are so hard to find. Best of luck finding someone that you will be just as excited about!

    She did provide a (short) list of doctors she said were accepting new patients. I have already called 3 of them, and they actually are not taking on new families.

    I have a couple more to call Monday, so fingers crossed.

    Ugh, that sucks! I love my GP doctor too. Like you, she saw me through all my prenatal appointments, delivered DD and is not DD's main doctor too. I couldn't imagine trying to find someone to replace her! 

    Good luck to you!
