So here is the thing I use both Dr. Roth the pediatrician (mother) and Dr. Roth the ob/gyn (daughter). I am very happy with the daughter but not the mother and would like to change pediatricians. But I have met daughter in mothers office and mother in daughters office (its same building) And would feel quiet silly meeting the one I left.

So now my question is? Did you once use both and left one and how did it go?

You can always use the line - our insurance changed so we had to change to someone who takes our insurance.

Wont work for the simple reason that I think she takes all those HMO's and we have private insurance which she takes most too and I use her daughter which takes the same insurance.

Sorry to disappoint you but she's got a great memory remembers where I live and which days I always come in and...

Asking from people that used or uses her what do you think?

If there is a specific reason you are leaving ie long wait time, difficulty scheduling convenient appts, then you can tell her you were happy there, but will have to leave because of....... If it is something more personal ie you don't like her care etc, then you can just smile, look dumb & dont say anything when you meet her. Its her problem & not yours. You are the customer & she is the "storekeeper". If she fails to provide what you need & want then you leave. No need to be embarrassed.

no way she won't notice. She's got an awesome memory.

I had the reverse--left the daughter and use the mother. It was/is sometimes uncomfortable but for the most part, we've gotten past it.

What do u mean she wont notice? She notices every stupid detail of everything.

So when you meet the other do you still feel weird how long ago did you leave her practice.

She sure will relize that I left. I have been with both for YEARS. And wondering if its worth to change.

I meant there's no way she won't notice. She's got an awesome memory. So with me I gave her a reason that she was not happy with but at least I gave her s/thing that could be interpreted as not her fault. I told her I really wanted to use a hi-risk doc and hospital and though she didn't feel I needed it, she didn't argue.

I think that's the best way to do it: give a weak execuse-- need a doc with a diff insurance, etc

Don't forget you're going to have to ask the office to transfer your kids medical records. How are you going to do that?
