Just wondering if anyone has had a problem with their doctor calling back. Had my annual visit with lab work in November. At that visit I forgot to ask if I could get the Shingrix vaccine while taking Tecfidera. Also had some questions related to the lab work. Nothing urgent but it's now 2 weeks. I've called twice. Not sure where the problem is. Did he actually get the message or is he too busy to respond.
I understand that they are over loaded with patients but maybe my questions could have been fielded to a nurse etc. I never have this issue with my PCP. We communicate by email and it's very fast. I asked my neurologist at my appointment in November what would be the best way to communicate with him and he said to always call because he doesn't get a notice that he has an email.
I might add that I have found this problem with other neurologists in my area. I only call if I can't find any info on the internet. Sad to think that the internet has become our first "go to".
