Just had an issue with my doctor suddenly dropping medicine and the nurse not telling me until two days before. I have been his patient for over 13 years.

So I wanted to warn anyone else who might be using him so they don't have the same experience and are forewarned.

So can you use doctors names on this forum? Would it be ok for me to post his name and the name of the practice (his was absorbed into a big practice 2 years ago)? There are now additional Rheumatologists in the practice (it's an Ortho practice) but I have not met with any so it would be good to get opinions on the other docs? Can I ask opinions about other docs?

Each forum has different rules and I don't want to break them.

No, we don't share doctors' names...especially if you have negative reports. That would leave us open to lawsuits.

I see that you posted your email address in your profile so, if there are members interested, you can communicate privately.
