On the outside, I try to project an image of having it all together. But underneath that, I'm kind of a disaster. Hence... the name of the site: GlossyVeneer. Remember when we went to our crappy family doctor and on a recent visit they treated us so poorly that it finally made me snap? If you don’t recall, you can go ahead and read that post… I’ll wait here patiently.
I immediately started researching my insurance provider’s site and found several new options. I read about each choice online and selected one that seemed good. I called the office and was impressed with the way they spoke to me. Thus I scheduled an appointment for my husband.
I accompanied him on the visit, just because I wanted to make sure that things felt “right” for both of us. Wow… our new doctor actually took the time to listen to us carefully. She was very thorough in addressing the primary reason we were there. She checked out his other concerns and even offered more natural solutions to try minimizing the need for drugs/antibiotics if at all possible. Plus her office is just down the road, we don’t even have to get on a freeway to get there.
The best news is that my husband will have blood work and an ultrasound out of the way by the end of THIS WEEK, several weeks before the old doctor even planned to get around to these tests. The new doctor even seemed to understand that 1) we desperately want him to feel better and 2) it would be best to get things taken care of if surgery is needed BEFORE he begins on his busy season at work (January through April).
We’ll have to see how things continue to go, but so far I am extremely pleased and feel far more comfortable with this new doctor.
And that is a huge relief…
