Bad doctor?

I forgot how I even got his name as a referral to see this GI doctor. It might have been the first available in the office with several practicing GI doctors.

Anyway, this GI doctor hemmed and hawed for over a year before giving me a biopsy confirmation of celiac. And after the biopsy, he called me to tell me the news. He didn't want a follow-up visit - just go gluten-free and you'll get better.

So I haven't seen him in about 14 months.

But I have to go back to get my acid reflux under control. The dentist I saw Monday warned me to do something about it.

So I call the office, tell them I'm a patient, and need to see him for reflux.

"We can get you in tomorrow morning at 8:15."

"Uhh, sure."

Generally, the quicker you can get in to see a specialist for non-life threatening issues is a sign that maybe there's a reason why he isn't so busy.

Hopefully he can treat my reflux without too much of a strain on his abilities.

And I just got a call from his office to confirm the appointment. I politely reminded me that I haven't forgotten about the appointment in the last 90 minutes.
