My Journey to halt/end my psoriasis

[Sheila]

So, last week I was curious how long a referral would take to see the dermatologist locally. Monday last week was day 3 of him having my file for the referral. The receptionist was kind and explained that the good Doctor hadn't had a chance to look at my file yet but said I should call back on Friday. Friday went by as I had decided I would give him a little extra time. Tuesday morning I give his office a call and the receptionist said that once he had a chance to review my file, he would decide in order of importance, who would get seen first, and once he had prioritized me, he would send me a letter in the mail in regards to an appointment.

The last time I was "prioritized", I never heard from him again. So I feel like I am getting the cold shoulder here. I wonder if I will EVER hear from him? Am I the only one that is reading between the lines here and getting the same message? Or am I being overdramatic? Thoughts?

If he is the top dermatologist, you may find it difficult to get to see him. I see the top one at my hospital, but I have known her around 12 years and when I first met her she was not the top doctor.

Sounds like you would be better off trying elsewhere, or wait another week or so to see if the appointment turns up. Thought going by what you have said, I wouldn't bet on it.

He is not the top doctor....he is the only dermatologist in town. Not much of a choice.
