@ess77. I'm sorry for your ordeal. I agree with @contentandwell, using the portal will also document your correspondence with your doctor and his response. I changed my PCP this year because I find the old one uncaring. I felt that he's just going through the motion. At my last check up I found out that he didn't even know who my cardiologist is, and he's the one who made the referral! My new doctor spent almost an hour with me( really unheard of) going through my medical history and meds. While I was there my cardiologist's office called because I called them earlier, this doctor talked to them and said he will email my cardiologist about my visit and new med which both doctors agreed on. I felt really good about this change.
I hope you will get your issues resolved in a timely manner. Take care and stay safe.

@mayofeb2020 That's great that you now have a PCP who is so caring. I recently changed PCPs because my old one had let me fall through the cracks a couple of times, most recently on osteoporosis, which has become a very serious situation for me because it had been neglected. He was extremely caring, and usually very diligent about immediate problems though, so it was a difficult decision for me.
The doctor I chose spent at least an hour with me on my first appointment and she is highly regarded, but she seems sort of cold and not nearly as caring. I could go back to my old doctor, after I switched he called and we talked for a half-hour and he said if I changed my mind he would welcome me back as a patient. I'm afraid he might let something else important fall through the cracks though.
