Default Doctor Advertises in Daily Sun but is not seeing patients!

Almost every day I see an ad in the Daily Sun for Dr. Gurgen, a dermatologist. He has good reviews here and on healthgrades.com. So, I call for an appointment and the person answering the phone states that Dr. Gurgen is not seeing patients, I can see the Nurse Practitioner or the Physician Assistant. I don't want to start a discussion here about the capabilities of PAs and ARNPs; I'm just amazed that a Dr. would go to the cost of advertising in the Daily Sun and then not want to see the people who call his office in response to the ad. Really, what's the point?
