I had the same PCP for 5 years. She was wonderful...a caring compassionate listener. Then I realized she had missed symptoms of two serious medical issues...she would tell me there was nothing that could be done about the symptoms. One conditions was very serious and one turned out was life threatening. This doctor was emergency medicine trained. I reported my concerns about her to the director of her clinic. Now, a year later, I learned she has retired. I am glad I decided to no longer see her and I'm glad I called attention to her mistakes. It appears it was time for her to retire.
