Have you ever gotten a bad vibe from a doctor?

Sorry to hear about your experience, Christian, and I sure hope you're doing better soon.
I would definately cancel and talk to the doctor. I have fired more than one doctor in the past couple years and I always give bad doctors the courtesy of a good dose of shilala charm. Be nice to the receptionist though. It's not their fault the doc is a dick.

Sorry to hear about that Christain, I hope you get feeling better soon.

As to my experiences with bad doctors, I have had 2 bad ones now. I wouldn't give them another penny of my money. In central FL, there are too many good doctors out there to fool with the bad ones.

If you choose so, there is a couple review sites out there on doctor's. You can post your experience there or read others. When I had my first ever bad doctor, I thought it may have been just me. Then I found this site which reviewed them, and realized it wasn't just me.

Wayne, are those review sites state specific?
I'd love to see an example. It'd be a HUGE help. It'd probably save me lots of appointments, too.

I wouldn't go back, and send an anonymous letter detailing your experience.

These 2 are a good place to start. Also searching through google maps, you can see reviews as well.

I work in Security in a "Famous Harvard Teaching Hospital" in Boston. Let me tell you, if you don't like this physician, find another one. Simply tell him that you've found another physician who is a better fit. Beyond that, you don't owe him anything. A physician is a service provider, not unlike a mechanic, nothing more.

Have to agree with Darren on this Christian.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, Greg. It's easy for people to forget that "Medicine" is a business and patients are customers; and the patient (or their proxy) is always in control.
