The struggle is real. Phoned to make an appointment with the doc here after the Covid years, and it was “Sorry sir, unless you are being treated for a current condition, the next appointment available is in March”
Ay ! !n My doctor died just before I was to see him, for the meds we were in the process of readjusting, back in Feb,.The practice offered another doctor, but that doctor’s office didn’t seem to know about it. BTW I found out he had died, when I read it in the obituaries ! It was almost a month before the practice notified us patients.
This did happen to me – and I had seen the doctor in less than a year from when I called. I found a new doctor. I was told by the first that I would have to wait at least 6 months to see the doctor I had been seeing for many years. I had a problem that couldn’t wait more than 6 months.

Been through the first part, but they didn’t make me become a new patient.

I was in this situation once, but they did take me because I had been treated there before.

That’s a sure sign you need to find a new doctor’s office. I mean since you’re gonna be processed as a new patient anyway.
