I have heard that is a good way to do it. My...Yes. I have heard that is a good way to do it. My new endocrinologist is part of a major hospital association. They have clinics all over the city now and I think the specialty doctors may do part days at different clinics. I am very pleased with this doctor. She seems to have made great improvements in my diabetes. I also went to a gp there when I had a rash on my head. She didn't know what it is but I knew I would be referred to someone in the field if it didn't get better. I have also noticed that the country of origin for many (most?) were other than US. I'm open as long as I can understand. The problem is usually complicated by my hearing also.

We have area clinics and centrally located hospitals. While we don't always see the same doctor, our records are on computer whoever we see or whatever facility we go to. We have been with group health for over 45 years, and have never regretted it.

So much is unknown at first. I have a really old primary but since he is for minor stuff or referrals I usually use his nurse practitioner. She tends to listen more than her boss.

That just might be where we'll go when it's time to find a new doctor. Our current family physician has been our doctor for decades, and he's certainly bound to retire one of these days. He's an excellent physician and stays very up-to-date with the latest practices.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09782394068144501251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-79045327470768287332016-01-19T10:34:35.313-08:002016-01-19T10:34:35.313-08:00Oh I hate trying to find a new doctor.

The hospital in our town recently closed and there is no urgent care facility close by either. That is a little scary! Closest hospital is about 35 to 40 miles away.Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-70684048127840030932016-01-19T09:47:01.773-08:002016-01-19T09:47:01.773-08:00Hi Linda! It's nice to meet you!
You live in ...Hi Linda! It's nice to meet you!<br />You live in a lovely place! I love Oregon since I grew up in Washington and we went to the Oregon coast a lot before my family moved here to Denver 20+ years ago!<br />It IS frustrating trying to find a new doctor. I remember my parents had to switch it up a few times and they found that not all doctors agree on treatments which is confusing. I hope you don't have to go to the doctor very often.<br />Yes, sewing is something we can go without, but when I sew I remember how much I like it. It's so much faster than other things like knitting.<br />I hope you have a lovely day. Thank you so much for visiting my blog today!
