Finish Line! Dr. Fissel -

Finally - on April 24th I met with the very last doctor I had "booked" when things first started going south for me back in February. Dr. Fissel came highly recommended and it seemed everyone I knew was seeing him. It was even revealed to me that a few of the doctors I had seen were patients of Dr. Fissel and his partners!
The location was close to home. The front office staff - very nice! The nurse, very nice! And Dr. Fissel listened. At this point, it was simply me explaining what I had been going through - all the doctors I had seen. I also told him that I was done for awhile. I had spent almost 2 months doing nothing but visiting specialists, trying to find a new family doctor, and becoming apprehensive about Doylestown's medical system.

I had learned that Abington and Doylestown didn't exactly share information freely and easily. I supposed it was like the Flyers vs the Penguins. There was a sort of rivalry.

I wanted to take a break from health issues. And then perhaps in a few months, I'd start over again. I'd see a cardiac person from the Abington system and an Ob/Gyn from the Abington system. I was still concerned about my heart and wanted to get to the root of the cause of the fluttering. And though I liked both Dr. Ianieri and Dr. Dinesen, perhaps it would be best if all my medical docs were all through the same system...it made sense.

I left without any more insight into what was causing my body to be misbehavin, but I did leave relieved that finally, FINALLY, I had a family doctor that was close to home, that listened, that had a personality, that had a great staff.
