i loved my doctor. I'm going to miss him. He was good to me. Once when I had been brutalized, he waived the fee. He usually was compassionate and took time with me. He gave me samples because one routine med had a very high copay. He cared that my work ups were complete and appropriate referrals were made.
Too bad his staff isn't functioning at the same level. They interfere with the doctor/patient relationship. They told my doctor I verbally abused them. They told him I said I would change to another practice. That statement came only after the staff frustrated me beyond belief. If I'd changed it would've been over their bad behavior--NOT his. I was never unhappy with him. I wish I had gone to him early on and shared my complaints. I was going to do that and said so to an employee. She made sure I'd never get tthe opportunity. She made a bee line to him, and said I verbally abused her. That's when the banishment letter was sent. I should've kept my intentions to myself. He and I could have worked it out.
Pros: quick work in appts., brief wait time; free parking
Cons: unprofessional and unethical staff
