I'm so confused about my doctor. I really like him, he's a really nice guy. He's delivered two of my babies and did a great job. He's a family doctor that also delivers babies. Anyway, he is always getting our names mixed up. He calls me by my oldest daughter's name, and my oldest daughter by my middle daughter's name. I am always correcting him. He's even recorded stuff under the wrong person's name in the computer. Every other doctor I've gone to says he's the best doctor and so smart, etc etc. Also he doesn't work Thursdays and only half days on Fridays, and it's hard to get in on Monday, so when we get sick between Wednesday and Monday we are screwed. Twice this year we've had to see a different doctor since we couldn't get in. Anytime I see him he really acts sincere about caring about us. And I always chicken out, whenever I decide to switch doctors I can't follow through. So...is it normal for doctors to forget your name and to have so many days off?

He is not old...he's probably in his late 40's or early 50's. And he's not confusing our family with other patients...it's just with each other...me and my 3 girls. Today my daughter saw his partner since she couldn't get in to see him, then we ran into him in the hall...He was really concerned that we were in there, and wanted to make sure everything was okay. I feel he is being genuine...but still maybe I should switch doctors?
