@ms9246 I see in your profile, that you were diagnosed with kidney issues about a year ago. Waiting for a nephrologist to give you results of labwork, or waiting for results from any doctor, can be nerve-wracking and anxiety provoking, no doubt about it! When you reach out to your primary care doctor, I will be interested to hear if the specialist included him/her on your results!

While I have no doubt all doctors, from primary care to specialists, are busier these days, and their time/effort is more taxing, they do need to keep the patient in mind first and foremost. From my own personal experience, I had a nephrologist who I did not feel was giving my complicated case the attention it needed. So, I asked my oncologist [who seems to be more of a primary care for me than my own primary care doctor!] give me some names of who he would recommend and be pleased to work with. My new-to-me nephrologist is great, and very in tune with my case.

Please keep on top of this and let me know!
