I went to see Dr Shamban a couple of weeks ago. The entrance of her space on Santa Monica Blvd is fresh and snazzy, but clearly hasn't been carefully thought all the way through. The tiny waiting area was so crowded, that I couldn't even sit down to fill out my paperwork. And, when I finally did manage to score a place to sit down, Dr Shamban made me wait an hour for my appointment. I quizzed her staff, and apparently making patients wait forever (or in other words, poor time management on Dr Shamban's end) is pretty much the norm there. I walked. Good doctor/patient relationships are based on mutual respect, and that includes respect for each other's time. Dr Shamban may be great at what she does?but she's certainly not the only choice.
