transferring clinics

[sumodidit]

The clinic where I have been getting treatment has been bought out by a new owner. I am planning to leave because as a patient I feel like I will experience the wrath of the transition from owner to owner and how the employees take it. I dont want to leave because of the staff, but everything is going downhill as far as service, machines, maintenance, overall quality. I am afraid to transfer because I really dont want to start over. There is a clinic close to my house or I can travel twice as far now to goto a clinic where most of the staff has left the clinic to work at. What am I gonna do??

Run!  Run as fast as you can.  If the employees are jumping ship, then you need to follow.  This is your health, and a steady downhill slide in care will not help it.

I'd try the closer clinic first.  It could be decent, and will save you time and effort by cutting down on travel time.  If it's bad, then you still have a back-up plan.  At least go and check it out, see how it looks, maybe talk to a patient or two in the waiting room.
