Hi @Ccrosb1

How are you doing today?

This sounds like a tricky situation to navigate. Sounds a bit unusual that your primary does not want to refer you to a specialist. Let me tag a few other Carenity members, perhaps they can offer you some suggestions on how best to manage this situation.

Have you ever had a problem getting a referral from your primary doctor? How did you convince them to let you see a specialist? Any tips for managing your primary doctor?

Take care,
