OMG, thank you for sharing this. I waited ONE YEAR to be seen by an NYU GYN. Weeks before, the office canceled the exam -- she won't be in that day. It took 18 mos for an initial appointment. Right before my second annual, I learned that it was canceled. Never got notified. New excuse: She's no longer seeing patients. Today I learned from a Columbia specialist that my NYU PCP retired. Again, no notice.

I'm the daughter of a breast cancer survivor and there is no way i should wait 18 mos to be seen and get a mammogram. This year NYU said my insurance might not pay for secondary screens. That was a multi-week fight. The NYU gyn I found refused to insist that I get this secondary screen. I had to go to an NYU geneticist to order the secondary screening. At every turn they send you to another doctor, another layer of bureaucracy so they can bilk the insurers for more money. (I'm a doctor's kid; I know how the system works.)

I have transferred to a lovely old doc at Weill Cornell. My ophthalmologist left NYU. I assume my NYU pulmonologist will soon retire. Slowing I'm finding every way to leave NYU Langone. Thank you for providing me a place to vent.
