Hi Ginger thank you for your information actually I did ask my primary care to suggest someone else and they called me today and suggested that I go to the same doctor that I am having a problem with I just don’t know where to look for a good nephrologist!

@ms9246 Hmmmmm. Do you live near a teaching hospital or university? You can also check with your secondary insurance for a recommendation. Try your county medical association to see who is listed, and look them up. Do you have any family/friends who see a nephrologist, and are satisfied with them? Try putting in "nephrologists near me" in google and see what comes up. Is there another nephrologist in the same practice as the one you have an issue with, that you could switch to [so you don't need to change offices]?
Do any of these suggestions sound like they might be worth a try for you? Also, I would frankly tell my primary care about the way you are being treated by that current kidney doctor!
