Well, the time had come and I had to make the move. Dr. Raghavan just wasn't the right fit. I truly think my case was simply out of her league. I want to believe she had the best intentions, but was simply overwhelmed and didn't know HOW to help me. It was time to move on in order to help myself. Dr. Thompson chose for me this time ~ my new primary care physician is Dr. Shannon Roberts. Here's to hoping for a lasting winner!
I met with her today, and I feel optimistic! In retrospect, my first meeting with Dr. Raghavan was a breath of fresh air because she was so compassionate, sympathetic, and comforting. It was impressive after how I'd been treated by Dr. Caudill. Now that I think back, she didn't provide much more. Dr. Roberts seemed to fill in all the missing pieces. She was compassionate, aware, clearly intelligent, inquisitive, diligent, and proactive. She took the time to read my paperwork and listen to my story. She even developed a "plan of action" in case I have a problem and need her medical attention immediately.
It was only the first meeting, but I'm hoping she lives up to her impressive first impression.
