Dr. Hall is nice but she seems to not want to spend time with me when I have medical questions or issues happening.   She used to be much more caring with me and really know my medical history.   Lately, she asks me questions regarding my medical history that she should know.  I realize that she has many other patients but she used to know almost everything about me.  It seems that ever since Covid hit hard a few years ago, her style of doctor/patient relationships have changed.  It's like she doesn't have time for me when I have a medical issue going on.   She is good at asking me if I need refills.  But then when I called in one time for a new script to be sent to the mail order pharmacy, I was hit with resistance from one of her nurses.  The one particular nurse told me that Dr. Hall stated that I needed to go through my pulmonary doctor to get that script.  I stated to the nurse that Dr. Hall has always filled it.  When I brought it to Dr. Hall's attention on my next visit, she stated that which ever doctor's name was on the original script is the one that should be filling it.  I told her that her name was on it and has always been on it.  I also explained to her what the nurse said.  Her response was she'll have to look into but she believes it would be better for my pulmonologist to have since it involves my breathing.     In a way, I'm upset with my medication being sent to other doctors when she has been filling them for years with no problem.   When I go to reorder medications now I have to closely look at which doctor ordered which medication.   It gets really confusing for me.  This has just all recently started.
