Reply #6: Surgeons are the worst... [View All]

Obviously, a surgeon can't always know when he is going to be called out of the office for an emergency procedure...accidents happen. But, I would think that an orthopedic surgeon doesn't run into life and death knee replacements and has to drop everything to rush into the O.R.

If they had a firecracker as an office manager, the appointments wouldn't always have to be rescheduled. The Dr. should have the courtesy to at least try to see the people in his waiting room and that would eliminate some of the rescheduling.

I would speak to the Dr. Your time is just as valuable as his and maybe more so. There are websites where you can post your experiences with Doctors on the internets ;) and then make him aware of it. A bad reputation for clinical treatment is just as bad as surgical.
