Wildcoyote,

Ugh! That is tough! My pdoc of 10 years just retired, and OMG, finding a new pdoc sucked! I went to one pdoc who shouldn’t be allowed to practice any type of medicine, in my opinion. Finally, my old pdoc helped me get seen quickly by the other pdoc in the practice (one of few in this area with good reviews and with contact practices similar to hers), but he is still not as good as she was. When I was looking up new pdocs on the internet, I realized my old pdoc had straight 5 star reviews. I got really lucky when I stumbled onto her, and she had a cancellation right when I needed it. Saying goodbye to a pdoc of 20 years has to be really tough. Sorry about losing your PCP too. Talk about bad luck!
