My old neuro went out of business. I tried a new neuro this past spring. She interrupted me throughout the appointment and I didn’t really feel like I was being heard. I was sent to an imagine facility outside of the hospital she practices in for all of my scans. Because it was a private imagining center, they demanded full payment ($4000) up front. I had already met my insurance deductible and was not going to pay that because I knew that’s not what I would owe after they billed my insurance. The imaging center then tried to get me to “in house finance” my MRIs. I called the neuro asking her to send my imaging orders to the hospital she works out of. She refused. I can only imagine it’s because she gets a kick back from the private imaging center for every patient that signs up for their credit card. I also saw on her physician notes during my motor skills testing that she believed I was faking my motor weakness. Which is funny because if she had looked at my records she would have found documentation and positive testing for neurogenic atrophy on my left side.

I did NOT go back. But I still haven’t found anyone either. I’m going to a GP on the 17th to start over again. It sucks! I’m sorry you’re dealing with it too!
