[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have left many a practice in the last few years because of their office staff and practices of not calling back in a timely manner. Rescheduling appointments constantly. Wait times were insane, etc.. Male Urologists told me I had a bladder infection over and over again when it was not. Male ortho who told me not to exercise like a "woman" ugh.

I am the consumer.

Now all of my doctors are fantastic so are their staff.

[b]I am done with Washington Top Drs List. Most are old tired antiquated techniques. [/b]

That Top Docs list is just political. I have seen a specialist who is on that list, and has been since I first found them almost 20 years ago. They are great, but they are close to retirement age and seem stuck in a mindset that isn't really current. They also seem way too susceptible to whatever the drug rep du jour is selling them. They know everyone, and everyone knows and likes them (super personable and attractive) and they aren't a disaster -- that is why they are on that list.

Also, I'm sorry you have encountered so much misogyny. I have too (perhaps most of us have) -- the worst example was the ER doc who wanted to send me home to take some Tums for my "tummy ache" (his phrase, not mine). I insisted on a scan (which he didn't want to give me) and sure enough -- ruptured appendix; they had to take me right to surgery. [/quote]

Omg. I wonder how they walked that back after seeing that. [/quote]
