For sure there's a lack in the south and north of my state, MN. There's only one in my town and he's not taking on new patients. In the whole south of the state there's no Pdocs accepting new patients. I haven't any idea what's going on in the central twin cities area but it's a huge metro area and has many more Pdocs, but enough for the area, I don't know. The north of my state has a serious lack of any doctors.

Right now my PCP can call the one pdoc here if there's questions but that's it. Thankfully I'm stable have been for 3 yrs so all he has to do is continue the meds that were started in TX. I lived in a huge metro area there but Pdocs are hard to get especially on Medicare. I went through a community mental health unit, the docs were good but didn't stick around in three Ypres I had 6 docs.
