I am so sad. I am going to be losing my primary care doctor. Her office is restructuring and my insurance will no longer cover visits.

She has been my doctor for 11 years. my first appointment with her, I found out I was pregnant with my daughter ,which was pretty special.

She’s not just my doctor; she’s been a mentor to me. I’m a physician assistant so she’s helped me navigate the challenges of balancing medical career and motherhood. She’s not a therapist, but the emotional support she has provided over the years—she may as well be.

I also just wish it wasn’t happening right now; there’d be some satisfaction to be able to see through these current health issues to the other side. Instead of being a complex patient right out of the gate to my new doctor.

I’ll see her next week for my last appointment. 😰. Fortunately I am already set up with my new doctor, whom I’ll see to establish care with in April. She called to accept me into the practice and I spoke with her for a few minutes. She seemed very nice and came recommended by a fellow physician assistant friend.
