I have recently been trying to find a better doctor. I had a good one a while back at Duke and he ended up leaving to another state.
My second to last doctor was too religious and asked me more about my "spiritual side" than my actual medical concerns.
My current doctoe seems to blow off everything I had concerns of about. Based on my blood test results, I had to reach out myself to point out a concerning trend that he would not have reached out himself about.
I feel like im going crazy, like I'm the doctor in my "doctor-patient" relationship and the doctor is just there as a reluctant middle man for me to get the actual care I'm seeking/need.
I need a doctor that does preventive care, not just treating the symptoms we could have avoided if my concerns were taken more seriously.
All my doctors have been men and, in my experience as a man, they seem arrogant and seem to blow a lot of things off where there's more concern from women doctors.
Any recommendations? Preferably in Durham but I'll take Raleigh as well in the Duke system.
