@jml6812 My new doctor will be with either Health Partners or Hennepin Health - I won't know until they call me to schedule.
I have two kids in healthy care, so they will tell me if the referral is a good one.

@blm1007blm1007 - Yes, my primary retired at the end of 2022, and it took 3 tries to hit the right new one. My pulmonologist retires this year and is sending me on. My long-time ophthalmologist already stopped doing surgery and told me she will retire in 2025. She has already referred me to a new doc for cataract surgery & another to monitor my glaucoma into the future - I will meet them in May. I just have my fingers crossed that my revered ortho will be working a few more years, as my revised hips are approaching 15 years old and my aging knees are complaining...

But in all honesty, I don't begrudge anyone the right to retire and enjoy life - I certainly did as soon as it was financially wise.
