Sorry to hear your are losing your great primary care provider. I wish you the best in your journey thru the system too.
My Nurse Navigator is out of the area and only deals with neuro with the ABTA. I wish she could be a resource but that is her sole specialty.
What do you think of the idea of asking the neurosurgeon for a referral?
I am not familiar with the Director of the practice. I never worked in a medical office, only in a hospital. Would that be the same person as the Business Manager?

I would compare the director of practice to the personnel manager for doctors - dealing with the assignment & performance side of the business, not pay and benefits. The comparable person in hospitals of old would be the department head for a specialty.

I don't think asking a neurosurgeon would be helpful - just my opinion, but they are usually viewing quality of care from a very different perspective than the patient.
