When he couldn't do it, he talked to me about it beforehand and made sure I was comfortable with someone else. The longs waits combined with the lack of communication would have me questioning whether or not they had my best interest in mind or if I was just Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14683127027917195775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-53235224331438637482009-10-22T14:40:38.076-07:002009-10-22T14:40:38.076-07:00honestly, i think i would leave. i don't love ...honestly, i think i would leave. i don't love my clinic, but at least i get one on one attention from my RE who also happens to be the lead RE for the infertility practice. it makes a big difference in my comfort level.<br /><br />but go with your gut, like the poster above noted. you know what's best for you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-15979759395723428812009-10-22T14:18:08.575-07:002009-10-22T14:18:08.575-07:00I think you have to go with your gut - especially ...I think you have to go with your gut - especially given your background.TUWABVBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04383498739949911554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-43553489720286055062009-10-22T11:05:16.219-07:002009-10-22T11:05:16.219-07:00I should clarify a couple of points that I didn...I should clarify a couple of points that I didn't think about until reading the comments.<br /><br />Talking to the office about my concerns is not an option: I tried that back in April, when I experienced my third 2-hour wait.

I second Lin's questions, though. Do their success rates override their lack of communication and personal attention? If it were me, I would at least mention my concerns to your RE and see what he says. But if you still don't feel comfortable after that conversation and the problems are ongoing, then it might be time to shop Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-8816151908397206882009-10-21T21:25:32.379-07:002009-10-21T21:25:32.379-07:00Hmmm...yes, I think I would also be concerned abou...Hmmm...yes, I think I would also be concerned about the combination of long waits, lack of time with the doctor, and especially the continuity of care issues. There are two ways to look at it...do the rankings and success rates excuse the general lack of trust for you? Or, is trust and open communication more important for you? <br /><br />Sorry for the RE drama and concern! :-( Good luck Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17203780431443748216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-97117424991901100.post-11049494473254387562009-10-21T18:49:23.487-07:002009-10-21T18:49:23.487-07:00The first thing I would do would be to talk to the...The first thing I would do would be to talk to the office about your concerns.

It's a tough decision whether to change RE's or not. I personally felt (feel) like I'm just a number at my clinic. But, when your choices are limited and RE is a booming business, what can you do?Marlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06867428737055305800noreply@blogger.com
