Thanks. My hypothesis is that she quit to stay home with her kids. It was a husband/wife practice.

I am thinking of saying something to the NP like "It was really difficult to find out through your website that I no longer had a doctor here. A letter in the mail would have been nice. Are there any plans to have a female doctor here anytime soon?" I just can't do the guy doctor for the girlie appointment. Did it once. Never went back to that guy again.

I am also frustrated because I have to tell them about my dysthymia dx. My Dr. was really cool and laid back. She would be cool with the no meds approach. The last thing I need is some med pushing Dr. who doesn't know me. I am glad I have t before the appointment.

Sorry I am so fixated on this topic. I avoided the Dr. for five years after college...going back was really hard for me. I was just starting to feel okay with going again.
