After having similar experiences, I joined a Conceirage practice. It’s an additional monthly expense, but gives me security knowing I have access to my doctor 24/7, same day or next day appts, min of 30 minute visits, and good referrals. If budget will allow, I’d recommend investigating this. The monthly fees vary….. mine is $325. In the big picture of things, it’s worth juggling the priorities, if possible.
