I'm devastated. He just quit. After 20 years of going to this man, I got a letter today saying he retired Thursday, December 11. I could just cry. I couldn't even say good-bye to him. I'm really bummed out!
Hey, my doctor just told me she no longer wanted to be my doctor because my insurance pays $1 less per visit than the next more lucrative insurance plan. She dumped me and 5 other patients. The front desk person told me we were just too much of a hassle. Thanks. Thanks alot.
Thanks is too bad. I had a hysterectomy a few years ago and my surgeon retired shortly after my surgery. I had planned to followup with him for all my after surgery visits. I felt kind of lost afterwards. I went to one other gyn for one followup and he did not seem to care, so I have not had any other followup visits with anyone. Thank goodness i healed ok. I can imagine how hard it is for you after all those year with the same dr.
Carol, maybe you could write a letter to him in care of the office address, or put a letter to him in an SASE envelope, and put all that in another envelope with a cover letter asking the office manager to send it to him, so you can say "Goodbye, Good Luck, I'll miss you" and have some closure! Just an idea...
You find a Doctor that is good and that you like and then he retires or moves away. In this case retires after 20 years as Your Doctor. That is a major Bummer. Good luck with the doctor who took over his practice. I think your old doctor probably picked him because he knew his stuff and could take care of his patients. There is a great deal of priportorship (sp) for a doctor for His patients just as there is the same for the patients toward the doctor. He would want the best for His patients.
aw that's a shame to hear. There are some health professionals you really get attached to because you've been going to them for a long time and they truly care. I've been going to the same dentist for over a decade and I love him. He's been my dad since he was a kid and mine (I'm 21) and I wouldn't want to go to another one. I fear the day he retires since he's getting up there...
