I waited a whole month for this appointment. This was to be my first appointment with an endo ever. I went to the doctor’s office – they told me the appointment was at a clinic around the corner. Mind you, it’s raining cats and dogs down here. By the time I got there, my pant legs were wet and so was my jacket.<\/p>\n

I told everyone I was there to see Dr. O, the endo and I was referred by my primary care doctor. After about 2 hours of waiting, I asked someone when I was going to see the doctor. At that moment a resident came in the room. She told me the endo wasn’t there. Sometimes he comes there but he wasn’t there.<\/p>\n

So how did I get an appointment with someone who wasn’t there ?? The resident got an attending and he was kind of nice to me. But no one knew what happened.<\/p>\n

The problem is this – this guy was the only endo in the two counties close to me that takes my insurance. Or so the insurance company told me. And when I called his office later on, they said the next appointment would be another 3 weeks ! I felt really abused at this point. Especially since I had to pay $5 for parking and I hadn’t eaten or taken any meds.<\/p>\n

It was such a rough morning I took a nap for several hours. I made some calls and managed to find another endo group who said they accept my insurance and it would only take a week to get an appointment.<\/p>\n

Tomorrow I go see my regular doc and I really hate to see what my a1c is but at least I can tell her how well I’ve been doing since last month, going from 200s to fbg 119 in one month.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
