Finding a Doctor - How to Elicit Responses?

Posted by ceres on January 27, 2009, at 16:48:47

I'm new to posting (visited on/off, but usually too muddle brained or upset to jump in.)

I'm wondering if others have had this doctor issue or have some ideas.

My doctor moved without giving notice & I have been trying to find a new MD for almost 2 months.

I have insurance for the first time, but my GP had told me not to use it for mental health, as would preclude obtaining future insurance. But, now I have to use it, as I can't afford regular rates (previous MD had rare sliding scale).

I called the doctors from my insurance list within an hour's drive. Only a few returned my calls & they are not accepting new patients.
Ones whose message machines state that they are accepting new patients, aren't calling back. And, I didn't ramble on their machines. I was clear, polite & concise & repeated my ph#.

It's disheartening. I thought most health & helping professions had some guidelines & set of ethics for responding to those seeking help.

Any ideas?
