I have had experiences like that with a doc... maybe she became very busy? If you do not feel comfortable with her, you could seek another doctor... or you could call and find out if she forgot? I had 2 really awesome docs before I moved. One was super responsive and always called when she said she would. The other is somewhat of a flake unless you are in her office, and I had to track her down for info. I guess it depends whether or not you got comfortable enough with her in that one appointment, and how you may feel trying to find a new doc. For me, the flakey-over-the-phone doc is super awesome and caring in person, and that makes up for her forgetfulness... but I also had a lot of trouble finding a doc that I felt comfortable to be in the room with. I have switched doctors before because I did not feel a connection. Trust is huge for me with a doc, so I went looking for someone else and got really lucky with those 2... I still see them when I go back to that part of the country (one is my gyn, the other is my pcp).
I just re-read your concerns, and #3 would be a bit more of an issue for me... I want to get clear directions on meds, or at least be able to contact the doc and get a response if I had questions on the meds...
