Bad timing for you and me. Original physician was not available, had to wait very long for different doctor....very long.

I have been very comfortable and open with my physicians As we age and I've retired, I need to expect tge some of my doctors. So sad. Scheduling with other MD(s) has been difficult- months out. So sad.
