I'm like super annoyed.... My sons' old Doctor retired and we got a new one today. I don't like her><
But I feel too guilty to ask for a different one. It's really frustrating.
I hate finding new doctors since I don't like being around people. Takes a long time to find one I like.

I guess I'm just ranting.... I'll just switch clinics probably.

Stand your ground and tell them you want to switch to a different Doctor.
Once my Dr wasn't available and so I went with other Dr on staff and she ended up mis-diagnosing me. It was a minor thing but still the fact that I figured it out on my own a few months later and when I could get in to see my regular Dr he agreed with me and we fixed the problem.
Its definitely hard to find a good Dr once one has retired or left a practice but don't give up and just ask to switch, I'm sure they wont mind!

Switching doctors/therapists/whatever is always super uncomfortable, I understand
But if it's not a good fit, then it's not a good fit
There's absolutely no shame in switching if you feel like it's not gonna work out with this person. You're the one paying them, after all

i would ask for a new doc or find somewhere else - maybe call in and ask the nurse

i did that i called into my dr. and changed my primary dr. with the front desk .. never had to explain anything except that i felt more comfy with her

and same with my dentist.. i didn't like him so i went out and found a new one
