Unfortunately, the physicians here don't seem to realize their staff can break them. Of course, truthfully, there is probably no shortfall of patients for the drs regardless. I have to stick with this biopsy now, I need to have it, and have since gotten confirmation that he is an excellent specialist. But I refused a different practice the Villages Health had referred me to last year, simply because the office staff made so many errors in my scheduling. I told my referring physician if I were truly a senior in bad health, new to the area, and not more outspoken and questioning, they would have had me very confused, at the wrong office and very frustrated. That procedure was routine and I put it off to deal with a different office. It makes me realize that I must be at the top of my game concerning MY health care and keep questioning that which doesn't seem right.
