At first when I was seeing my reg doc I've been seeing almost 6 years now, a while back I think 2 and half years ago or 3, I was seeing her 3 or 4 times a year, scheduled, I was in with her at my appt and decided to ask her if I could be seen two times a year, and she agreed to it, I think that is a good thing as for my doc and the condition I have and I was a little surprised when she agreed to the question I asked her, but if there was any problem with that she would have not agreed if my… read more

Yes. I also have zoom appointments sometimes as well. Like I mentioned, my regular doctor takes my blood and forwards it to my Neurologist.

I would not ask my Doctors to bring an MRI or way to give a CAT or PET Scan. I have groups that will drive people to Medical Appointments and home again. There is a Nurse who comes in from my Health Insurance once a year to get my weight, Blood Pressure, listen to my heart, breathing etc. She also goes over what medications and dosages I take.
GP at least once yearly and more often if I am sick. I see my neurologist every 6 months. Saw the neurologist every six months when I was taking hydrocodone for my headaches.
