Just curious as to how many of you (or your children) see primarily one cf doctor or see a few different doctors. Which would you prefer? I don't mean RTs or dieticians or nurses, I mean doctors only.
My son used to go to clinic in RI. We saw the same dr. every visit. We met two other doctors from the clinic, but they never had my son as a patient.
At the clinic in CT we go to now, he is seen by a couple different doctors. We were told we will see whoever is working on the day we visit, basically. We've met all the doctors, especially since Vinny was hospitalized.
I liked the idea of always seeing the same doctor, he knows my son better. Now I do see the value of being seen by a different doctors, they'll have varying opinions on some things. They said though that they have a meeting every friday to discuss patients and review charts. I just feel like they don't have as much experience with my son because they don't see him every time, so technically if he doesn't have a sick visit for a while and we go every three months, some of the docs could go very long periods of time without seeing him (or listening to his lungs). I guess I just don't like change! Especially when I was perfectly happy with the way things were!
Just wanted to see what experiences you all have had or what you think.
