Waited 11 months for Second Opinion Vent

hungrybirder, I'd take the consultation even if I were not sure of which doctor I would choose to receive treatment from. Tabatabai's practice is focused on the bones, and she may well be in possession of helpful information. Most of her reviews reflect high satisfaction But, your perfectly fine Endo may be informed that you have "changed" practices. I wouldn't discuss the matter with the present endocrinologist in fear of offending the perfectly good.
I'd feel exactly the way you do about the cancelled appointment, but I'd keep it to myself. They should have told you 11 months ago. You have only one person to protect here, yourself.

@gently I think these issues should be shared and not kept to yourself. Others need to know what goes on out there. I am in Australia hope you enjoyed your holiday.

@gently Thank you for your reasonable response. Yes, it makes sense to see if she will see me in a reasonable amount of time. Of course her next available for a new patient might be another 11 months which isn’t great timing for an almost 80 year old. My perfectly fine and well regarded endo ( my husband’s cardiologist sends his parents to her) is/was aware of the appointment as it shows up on my records and messaged me that all my records would be available, to which I answered that I was only looking for a second opinion and actually have a March visit with her scheduled. My main concern is the -4 in my forearm and what drug builds bone there. I’ve been drug free since a Reclast infusion in late 2023 so an anabolic might be helpful. Again thank you for your reasoned response.
