I need help finding a new vet.
I sent an email to a new potential vet. I explained my goals and expectations and I highlighted all my issues I had with the last vet. I did this because I'm trying to prevent us from forming a relationship and it not last because we aren't on the same page. I do not want to end up in this same position again. I'm not interested in making a practice rich. I'm also not interested in a vet refusing to listen to me about what my goals are. I don't want to be told everytime I speak to his vet that I'm ruining my relationship with my cat because I home test.
This is from their response email:
"After reading your thoughts, however, I do want to be upfront that I have concerns we are not the best match for you. I am worried that our practice will not suit your goals for Basic for continuity of care.
In addition, it is our priority to make the best medical recommendations for each patient this involves a level of trust; from your email I have concerns that this relationship would be strained due to your rigid statements about specific treatments."
I understand most patients blindly follow doctors and vets, but I don't. I never have, long before finding this group. Not because I feel I know more, but because I question everything. Not sure why that is so offense to others, especially those with titles that THEY hold in high regard.
This is extremely frustrating.
