*calls practice* Me: Hi, I'd like to set up an appointment with my Dr's replacement so I can get my Rx. Office: Ok let's see. The next available appointment is early November. Me: I'm sorry, what? Office: Sorry, it requires an hour. Me: But not in seven months, right?https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1112387202699284480 …
Yea. I'm sure it's challenging, scheduling-wise, but 7 months is not a solution by any means, and each intake appointment is expensive.

I mean...sure it’s a controlled substance, but I doubt they have to treat you as a new patient? They have all of your records and they know you. This feels super unnecessary(there may be laws I don’t know about)

Very frustrating, yes!

Patients tend to hate new docs, so a good practice will really ease patience into getting to know the new doc and get rid of any barriers (real or imagined) to staying with new doc. Your practice seems to be doing the opposite (tho, again, I dunno about medication law)

New patient spots do fill up super quickly on the schedule. I just don’t think that’s how you should be categorized. When you bring a new doc into an existing practice, it’s the practice’s job to sell current patients on the new doc so they don’t leave....
