transitioning to a different OB. what would you do?

Question

So my current OB is very rude and I haven't had an appt in 4 weeks (normal I know) I'm 12 weeks right now but last time she made comments like "what do you want me to do about it?" After me telling her I had some vaginal irritation and itching after my Pap. And other things like "I don't like looking at you". So that's why I've decided to switch.

Since I haven't had an appt in so long , I was wondering if you guys would go to the old OB if your appt was on the 15th just to make sure everything is fine. And then go to the new one on the 21st  OR if you'd just skip going to the old OB on the 15th and wait until the 21st?

Answer

She sounds awful. I would switch and wait to see the other dr.

Answer

I'd wait until the 21st. I had the same thing happen and switched and had to wait an extra week. There's not a ton happening at 12 weeks so unless you're having strange symptoms you're good to wait!

Answer

I just waited the little bit of extra time. It was like an extra week and that was for my first appt at 9 weeks. I had a miscarriage last year so I was still getting my blood drawn every couple days but I was tired of not being able to get a hold of anyone when I had a question and it taking as much as 24 hours till someone called me back even if it was just to confirm orders had been put in for another blood draw. So I switched to private practice instead. But if there's something that needs to be addressed then I would still go to your scheduled appt and tell them after that you won't be back and then go to your new ob on the 21st

Answer

I just recently switch obs after having a bad time with the first one. I went to my last appointment and went ahead and scheduled my next appointment with them but I also signed the papers to release my records to the new place while I was there. Once they had sent my records to the new ob they called me to cancel the rest of my appointments with them and then I called the new place and they got me in right around the time my next appointment was supposed to be so it all worked out
