I was able to make an appointment with his associate and got in the following week, which was too long due to my pain but it did work out. I had all the tests run last week but now I have to wait two weeks for the results, which is driving me batty because my symptoms are getting worse, sometimes by the hour.
Can you find another neurologist you can see immediately or is this one on your insurance plan and/or recommended?
My heart and prayers go out to you. And I'm crying for you. |
Actually, I'm an existing patient now and I have no clue why they would schedule it that far off, but at the time of my initial follow-up visit I didn't fully realize what was happening to me and with a very vague diagnosis I just went along with whatever the PA suggested (no, the neurologist wouldn't see me for follow-up). I called last week and had to leave yet another message for them to send copies of everything to my GP. I thought that maybe the PA I see for my primary care could refer me to someone (not that I can't find a neuro, but though this would work better). But I feel that even if he does refer me to someone, it may still be a month before I can get in and that would be kind of pointless. There are several neurologists in the network, but I'm really not sure how to choose the best one.
