Normally I see my GP & lymphoma docs once a year, neurologist twice a year, my other docs as needed. I've never had issues rescheduling appointments.

I would not ask my Doctors to bring an MRI or way to give a CAT or PET Scan. I have groups that will drive people to Medical Appointments and home again. There is a Nurse who comes in from my Health Insurance once a year to get my weight, Blood Pressure, listen to my heart, breathing etc. She also goes over what medications and dosages I take.

GP at least once yearly and more often if I am sick. I see my neurologist every 6 months. Saw the neurologist every six months when I was taking hydrocodone for my headaches.

I see my doc every 3 month for routine visit. I have rescheduled a few times but not recently.
