long story short, i've had migraines all my life, been on preventative since i was 17 im now 34. i've seen dr. wilson at tampa general for 10 years.
i switched pcp since i moved. i went to see them and they said i had to have notes sent from my neuro in order for them to give me a referral to my neuro. i had an appointment set for mon for a nerve block. it took me 3 months to get this appoint. my neuro said i have tried just about all the preventative (which i don't think i have) and this was the next step. the notes were sent and the person in the office who writes referrals determines i don't need a neuro! not the dr. but the office person! so i get a call from my neuro on fri (when i had a killer migraine) that they cancelled the appointmt since i can't get a referral. so i left a message for my pcp to call me back. she never did. now i need to find a new pcp.
and somehow get another appointmnt at my neuro for the nerve block.
it takes 6 months to get a regular appointment with my neuro. the nurses there call me back 40% of the time. i told the dr. about that and she said, yeah we hear that a lot. dr. wilson is supposed to be one of the best dr.s for migraines. if you get to see her for an average of 4 minutes she has great things to say but once you leave there there is little to no communication on getting anything done.
im just so frustrated with dr.s.
also, when i visited my pcp i asked for something to help me sleep since i get migraines in the middle of the night and now im terrified to sleep. she said no, check with a psych dr. what?
i get minimal time with my dr.s on visits. they don't return calls and communication with their staff is terrible.
my Vet calls me back when there is a problem with my dog. i can get an appointment within days. she even follows up to make sure everything is ok. my dog gets better treatment than i do. i wish i was my dog.



Hi Jennifer,
Sorry you're having such a hard time with doctor's. I've been there. Where in the US do you live????
