Changing Doctors Office : Im an Adoption case.

[Ninejuan1 28]

After a 1 year 1/2 hiatus I need to go back and get a band fill. I called my doctors office number and I find out she left the office about 1 year ago. They did send a letter about a year ago but apparently it does happen "it got lost in the mail" to let me know she was leaving. The receptionist said they are referring a new doctor but he is about a 11/2 hour drive. I know there are closer doctors then that. The only bad thing is that now I have to do research on a new doctor. The receptionist did say they still have all my records but I would have to sign release blah blah blah...

My main concern to ask everyone out here is,

Is anyone an adoption case?

Did you switch doctors after you had your lap-band installed?

what type of questions does the new doctor ask?

any issues with your insurance from the switch?

any issues from a doctor point?

What would you of done different?
