Switching OB/Midwife practice mid-pregnancy

Does anyone have experience switching practices mid-pregnancy? My OB/Midwife group was fantastic with my second baby but really went downhill since then. I had 2 losses before this current baby and the entire staff (front office, nurses, providers) were so insensitive and almost cruel at times that I thought about leaving them then. Now that I’m pregnant again, I’ve been going to them and found that only 2 midwives are still there… everyone else is new. The new midwives and they’re always late (yesterday she was over 30 min late with no apology!), rude, rush through things and make it seem like they’re inconvenienced by having to see me for routine prenatal visits. That’s not the type of provider I want in the room when I’m giving birth. 😐

My friend just had a baby with a different midwife group and she really likes them so I think I’ll switch but I’m nervous. Like do I need to set up an initial appointment before my next routine prenatal visit?
