There seems to be a lack of communication between the doctor's PA and nurses and doctors. I was left in the room for almost an hour when I was told the doctor would be in in just a few minutes. Nobody came in to check on me or to give me an update of the doctor was running late or they're waiting on this or they're waiting on that. They just left me in there to wait. I finally had to go out into the hallway to get somebody to give me an answer.
