Yes -- doctors can and even should refer certain patients on to others if they don't feel they can help. Sometimes, things just aren't a good fit, on one side or the other. In those cases, in the case where a doctor does not feel he/she can offer the patient effective help, sending that patient on to another doctor is the most ethical thing to do.

I'm sorry if your former doctor's decision came at you from out of the blue, it's frightening when something that unexpected happens. And it's frightening to have to adjust to a new doctor, too.

I hope that the new doctor is a better fit, and better able to treat what ails you.

Good luck.
