You are the captain: in modern times with pressure on some docs to crank out lots of patient visits per day, you may not get the attention you need. you must be the captain of your fate. advocate for yourself and if you feel that one doc blows you off, seek care from another doc or an APRN that will spend the time with you that you need and deserve.

Usually: pcps are dismissive if the problem is trivial and present for some time they are usually not life threatening. some times they do not have time and could be negligent. so if you feel your questions and concerns are not being answered correctly you should find a new doctor for another opinion
