The fact that the doctor was cold and indifferent, and non-responsive to your phone calls are all good reasons to change doctors. Later, when you feel better, you might write the doctor a note and explain why you didn't come back.

Next time ask the doctor for a time frame for returning phone calls, setting up referrals, RX refills etc. That gives you more information.

Take care, Annette
