Early rant

Why is it so hard to find a family doctor?! I found one, and he takes newborns... But I hate the receptionist. Jeff refuses to go there because she hung up on him a year ago. She also hung up on my the other month when I had to cancel an appt. I don't think I can handle that if I have an emergency with Eliza...

My insurance company only has these random doctors who got their medical degree overseas, like Syria and Egypt. Maybe this is wrong, but I need you to have your degree from USA or another country known for being up on medicine.

Found one that came highly recommended, so of course they aren't taking new patients.

Found another, they are taking new patients but not babies. (I'm not getting good reviews for the peds in this area).

Found one more in Elkton. I seriously don't want to call for fear of another rejection. My self esteem is taking a hit. I want to tell them, I swear we're low maintenance! Jeff and I have to be dying to go see a doctor. I maybe a crazy ftm though...

My last resort is seeing I'd my old doctor in Jennersville can take me back... I regret ever leaving. But he left too, and came back, we're even right?! I just don't want to drive 40 mins to see a doctor.

    ugh. that sucks. I recently switched pedis because ours was almost an hour away. I talked to LOTS of people before I switched because I needed someone awesome. How far are you from 202?
  • Jeff said 20 mins from here.

    Usually when I ask a ton of people thats the place that's not taking new patients... Probably because they are awesome.

  • My doctor is by the Christiana hospital. There are alot of doctors in the practice if its not too far for you. M's pediatrician is near there too. If it were me, I might put up with a rude receptionist if I really liked the doctor. Most practices have an option to leave a message for the nurse if you have a question or concern so maybe you wouldn't have to deal with her?

    I guess worse case is I stay with the current one, but Jeff refuses to see him. I'd really like to find someone he'd see, it's been 2.5 years since he went to the doctor.

    We LOVED our pedi who was on 202, near ChuckECheese. He is usually taking new patients if they are newborns, if you decide to go that route. 
  • My mom went to the doctors (my old one) and they said I'm probably still in the system since I've been there since I was 3 if not they will reinstate me. I need to call Elkton but it's good to know we have a back up.

    @queensteph17 - can you give me the pedi info on 202?

    We go to First State Pediatrics. They have a Hockessin and a Newark office. We go to the Newark office. It's pretty out of our way now but I love our doc so much that I don't want to move T. If you're willing to drive to Newark, you could try there! We've only had to call once for an emergency but my SIL also takes our nephew there and he has some health issues so they've called more frequently in emergency situations and they've always been really great.
