Wow. That's a shame. Shame on him, that is. If the named partner is the doc you made an appointment to see, by jinkies that doc should see you regardless of PA, NP, etc. If I am having surgery and you are NOT seeing me in the office, how am I to think/trust that that YOU will be the opening and closing doc when I am on that table? TRUST. It is a huge yet fading commodity. On the day of your surgery it is prudent to state "YOU are the doctor operating, correct? There will be no residents or students doing YOUR work, right?" and have someone else hear that. Just sayin'. Sorry you had that experience. Some docs become indignant if you ask ??'s. THAT makes me ask more. informed consent.
