I was wondering if you guys could give me some insights on this.

I recently moved states and had to find a new pdoc, as my old pdoc isn't licensed in the new state. I was referred to a new pdoc by my new therapist. I called this new pdoc on Saturday to see if he was taking new patients and when the next available apt might be and left a message, thinking that I would hear back on Monday. When I checked my phone on Saturday afternoon, I had 6 missed calls from their office, and two voicemails (one of which has a very passive aggressive message that said "if u could pick up the phone when you see this number, that would be great". I called back, and got the answering machine, and left another voicemail. When I came back to my phone, two more missed calls and another voicemail, saying that they would be out of the office until Wednesday, as the doc is only in the office Wed-Sat. By this time, it was like 5:00pm and so I figured I would just wait until Wed to call back. The office called and left a voicemail yesterday (Sunday) and this afternoon (Monday).

This incessant calling is making me question this new doctor. I looked him up online and he seems legit. And I was referred to him by my new therapist, who seems like she knows what she's doing. The office doesn't say anything except to call them back. And when I call them, I get the answering machine. I have no idea what they want and why they seem to think it's so urgent. In one of my voicemails, I called and said that I had enough meds and that it's not a super urgent matter. Whenever their next available apt is works fine, even if it's a couple weeks out.

Is this normal? Should I find a different pdoc? I just find this communication so strange.
