I need a new doctor.

I've been trying to get a prescription refilled for four days now. I am out of meds. This is not like my viagra prescription, kids. I do not take medication for the sheer joy of taking medication. I take medication because I am ill. The doctor's office staff does not seem to be able to get his signature on the refill sheet, or does not seem to be able to get the refills sheet to the pharmacy, or something. Four days. No meds. Two messages for the office staff. No meds. Three faxes from the pharmacy. No meds.

You may recall similar outrage on my part when they failed to get any lab reports from my emergency room visit, Not Very Long Ago. But now, now I am done. I will require a new primary care person. Does anybody locally have any recommendations?

I like all three of the doctors I've seen at Overland Park Family Health Care Partners. My primary physician is Dr. Andrea Murray, but I've also seen Dr. Beryl and Dr. Murphy (also female). There is also a male doctor in the practice but I haven't ever seen him. The office is on 121st Street off of old Metcalf.

I use the same practice. Dr. Berl has been the PCP for me and the girls pretty much since we moved here; agrnmn used to see Dr. Feder there.

Feder is the guy. I've seen him the (two) times I've been to the doctor since I've been in KC, and have never had a problem getting the scrips for my meds.

Oh, and the office staff was very together/with it when I went in to change my name and insurance paperwork; haven't ever had a problem with that sort of thing there.

They're at 127th & Metcalf -- on the Dreaded Kansas Side, but not so far from where you live, K. Office phone number is (913) 894-6500. They're all very good about NOT prescribing antibiotics, and incorporating alternative therapies and the like as well. Good luck!
