“I have a 7 month wait.”
A lot of formerly solo practice doctors have been forced into large group practices for economic reasons. Hospitals are a major factor as is Obamacre. The electronic record keepig requirements alone are a disaster. Thus there are all these new mini-bureaucracies. Many medical offices resemble a beehive of clerical workers on computers and all matter of administrative tasks. As if the actual medical asoect is an afterthouh. Good luck to all of us and f you very much democrats....and repubicans fir not fixing the bloody thing.
Our family practice has a policy that you WILL be seen the day you call for an appointment. A routine physical,on the other hand, can be a few month’s wait. There’s always a doctor in the office on Saturday’s too. The primary physician is a family friend who will see us at his home. We’ve been friends and his patients for close to 40 years.
