1. Does this doctor you trust know anyone he can suggest?

My BFF was in a similar situation and was hoping to get a particular doctor but didn't know how to ask and her doctor had already requested that the one she wanted would take over her case.

In retirement many doctors try to get someone they trust to take over their "caseload" and sometimes distribute it to several other doctors based on who they think will best serve the client.
