If you have a chronic disease such as Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, etc, you need to see your doctor every 3 to 4 months.
If your having a problem with your condition or newly diagnosed, you may need to go more frequently until problem is corrected.
Many of my patients complain that employers will not let them off for doctor's visits and they get strikes against them. Now, I understand this, but your job will be taken over when you die before the flies can blow you. See if you can make arrangements to go in late or leave early. If this cannot be done, check with your HR department for FMLA papers ( Family Medical Leave Act), which can be filled out by your doctor for a fee (insurance does not cover this). This paper work lets you employer know the approximate times when your will need to see the doctor...
