I waited for several day until I got tired of waiting and decided to take some action myself because I didn't hear from her. I call her office today to leave an update of the plan to see Dr. Lipsitz on Tues. July 3rd and I think i said also that Dr. Feinberg was going to call Dr. Lipsitz about Cassie, as well as Dr. Bob who will speak to him also discussing Cassie.

I then get an email message telling me that she wants me to see Dr. Stevenson instead because she thinks I would do better with a woman, and they called and made an appointment with her for us on July 5th, and to cancel the appointment with Dr. Lipsitz on July 3rd. Like why was this done only after I called.... made the appointment with DR. L, and arranged for two doctors to talk to him about Cassie? I feel kind of....I don't know, puzzled, hurt, upset, confused, and weird. I feel funny now having to cancel this appointment with Dr. L. Do you think i am wrong? I mean, so what if he's a man, I have nothing against dealing with men. If he is more experienced then I want to go with the more experienced person. On the other hand if she's more experienced, then I'd rather go with her. Actually,it is strange to hear that she wants me to see one over the other due to gender. Everyone who has met Dr. Lipsitz says what a nice guy he is and that he
he's an excellent neuro, so I am a bit surprised at her attitude. What do you think?

Who is Dr. Stevenson? Website? As for her comment about you doing better with a woman......choosing a good vet has nothing to do with sex.
