I have glaucoma, and the doctor who's been treating me for 2 and a half years, I don't really connect with him on a human level. Maybe that means I am being silly. I guess he is an ok doctor, not out of this world. I just feel alone, not like my doctor is someone I can rely on. Should I change? If I did, it will probably be to someone in the same practice.

Answer:

eFirst find out if the practice even allows you to change physicians in the same practice. Secondly, if you do not connect because of bedside manner first consider is he/she a very competent physician that you trust what they do and say, if you trust their judgment then stick with them,if you feel you just don't know whether to like them , they don't answer questions to your satisfaction or you just have doubts then its probably time for a change. Having trust and faith in your physician is a great percentage of how you will progress health wise IE following their directions.. In summation your paragraph tells me you are unhappy and probably need to make the switch!

if he's a good doctor, who cares if you like him. if he's a so-so doctor, switch.
