Not satisfied with my doctor?!
Question: Not satisfied with my doctor!?
I'm 14, and I have a lot of gastrointestinal problems!.
I see one of the leading paedeatric gastros in the world!.
The only problem is, neither me or my mum are satisfied with him!. He is always away, doesn't tell you anything, no information on what you have, and doesn't tell you when you have to see him again!.
There is no other paed!. gastros!. in our area, so would I be old enough to see an adult one!?>

Well - sometimes a leading specialist is brilliant in diagnosing but doesn't have good bedside manner, or doesn't communicate well!.
Sometimes famous specialist may be well known for research and publishing, but might not be so great in clinical setting!.
If you are not getting effective treatment (even if the diagnosis is right) and you think the doctor is ignoring communication needs, then ask for or find another specialist!.
Yeah, the others are right!. Since you are 14 it shoudn't make much difference in seeing a general Gastroenterologist!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Oh honey, you must fire him, for sure!. Of course you can go the adult doctor!. To have a good doctor is very important!.
Our health and life depend on him!. Doctor must be caring and give you info!.
If the adult doc will accept you do not hesitate to switch!.

I've been seeing an adult doctor since I was your age!. It makes me feel much more informed!. Pediatrics tend to sugar coat things, and that makes me mad!. I'd make the switch!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
