First off if you just don’t like the doctor then I would look on the website for your insurance and see if there is another provider in your area.
Failing that, I would check and see if there is a nurse coordinator/patient advocate you can talk to. I would also, have someone with me at my next appointment. Another person listening can be a big help, also some doctors will be more open to questions if you write them down and have someone with you.
I really hope you can talk about your treatment plan and what YOU would like out of that plan.
Do you have someone who can join you, and listen in, help ask questions?

I appreciate your ideas but have tried them already . I had my son & DIL , who both have MPH and also years of working in medical fields , and they are very frustrated now too . Having no clear treatment plan , and constant missteps and mistakes , are why I have now switched , new drs next week, fingers crossed I'll get some guidanceand real medical care . I was def trying to get away , as stated above , assigned medicare insur traps me for now. So beyond these suggestions, I am constantly being told to book my own appts , and guess when I need the next thoracentesis , etc . Filing a complaint gets you a form letter with a form apology , but no real change or accountability so far.
