Well...We visited Dr. Mikrut because she was close and convenient.
However, I need to tell you why we weren't heartbroken when our insurance changed and no longer covered Dr. Mikrut...
1 - unneeded X-rays were of concern to us
2 - urine samples are collected in styrofoam cups (no lids) and passed through a window directly in the triage room
3 - triage room is open (with divider curtains) which allows sound to carry very well...and there's just no telling what you might hear coming from the nice leather recliner next to you. :-)
4 - I personally think she over prescribes meds. She sure does cure our illnesses, and she is very willing to give as many medicine samples as she has (which means she is being shmoozed by drug reps all the time), but we always walked out of her office with an armful of meds that we never got before we saw her and haven't gotten since.
Is she busy? Yep! Why? I certainly cannot think it's because people respect her professional opinion so much that they are willing to wait for an hour to be seen. I think that people wait because they don't have to make an appointment.
She does have a beautiful bedside manner and we LOVE the fact that she hires firefighters to work as triage nurses.
All in all, we enjoyed our time there, but are happier with who we have now...appointments and all.
