He has been my PCP for over a year, and I’ve only seen him once. After the initial meeting to establish care, I called in to schedule an appointment for flu symptoms and did not he did have availability for 2 weeks. I called in again for a referral for an ECHO that my established oncologist already called in and his staff said he would he would have to see me before referring the ECHO but didn’t availability until a month later.
