    I do like this group and I do like my doctor. But I have…read moresome concerns, as I've been warned that they will 'dismiss' you if they feel a need. For whatever reason. Which I guess is their right, but I'm pretty nervous. I mean, I have a terminal cancer diagnosis. And I need care. Which I am getting and I'm grateful for. But I believe I'd be better served by a change to another of their doctors. As my issue is I need a doctor there who has more insight into my specific situation. And some good connections regarding clinical trials. I've been offered a clinical trial at the Mayo Clinic for a first line treatment. I've had no treatment to date. My cancer is being watched. So: I heard that they don't like you switching doctors. Which led me to query the internet and up popped some text from their website that said changing doctors was allowed and was not a problem. But I don't think this is true, as others have experienced denials to have a different doctor and even have been dismissed from the practice for being pro-active in finding a good fit. Beyond comments in this forum, I have been cautioned by other doctors in the larger medical community that I would need to demand the new doctor because they "don't like you to switch". ?? But if I demand, then I'll be in hot water. It's stressful to take this in. I'm afraid to get my needs met by asking for a different more specific carer to my situation. In my opinion, which is 'evidence based' in reference to the experience and expertise of the doctor I'd like to switch to. In the past, I've had some questions for my doctor where I have felt communicating was fraught. More recently I was offered a clinical trial at the Mayo Clinic. Of course I wanted to discuss this with my Doctor here locally. I did not feel there was much interest --and I got the impression I would be booted out if I chose to begin therapy with the trial. I was told by Mayo that I would start the treatment at Mayo, but after a couple of months I could finish the protocol locally. So that was great, right? Well my doctor here did not offer that I could continue with the treatment locally. There was no enthusiasm. I was left hanging in trying to read the room. What my doctor said is "let me know what you decide" which came across as you either 1) do the clinical trial there, or 2) you stay here and don't do the clinical trial. Basically it was tough to feel heard. I was truly perplexed as the Mayo folks were clear with me that my cancer was --not becoming aggressive. But my doctor here was telling me I was --about to need chemotherapy as my cancer looked to be becoming aggressive. which is why I went to Mayo to get some clarity. They did a PETCT that painted an entirely different portrait of my disease status. Here locally my doc was telling me that I could have no treatment without verifying exactly what my cancer was doing, which would require open surgery just to try to get the tiny tumor area for pathology. The tumor being in a place that would risk my health to a very large degree. This was so confusing to then learn that I could avoid chemotherapy with a drug protocol that was not chemotherapy with no need to biopsy further. My doctor here seemed to think this was a possibility. But we just couldn't seem to connect to arrive at discussing this well. I do like my doctor. I think she cares and is capable. I wonder if my doctor has lost sight of my particular situation. The other local doctor works well with the Mayo Clinic and with Mayo trials, I think, given his connections there with Mayo. I have been referred to this other doctor verbally. And warned that getting switched could be a minefield I'll try to discuss this further with my present doctor. But I scared I will make this doctor will find me troublesome. Once it was suggested that I was wasting this doctor's time and this doctor became exasperated with me. Not kidding. So, you see. I'm nervous.

    Dr. Cattoni is a very friendly and positive person who helped to put us at ease during a very…read moretrying time dealing with cancer. Great bedside manner each time we saw him over the past two years. He answered all of our seemingly unending questions with patience. The staff, too, have been friendly and seem to really care. A special shout-out to Steven who seemed as happy as we were about the the positive outcome of our last appointment!
