I went for a post-surgical visit less than 3 weeks after major surgery. I was and am doing great but before I was basically dismissed, I had hoped to speak with the surgeon. Not once until the NP came in did I know that I wouldn't visit with her. At the end of my visit I was told if I didn't mind waiting an extended period of time, she could drop by much later. I got all of my questions basically answered so no complaints on that aspect of things.

I seen Dr. Katy Marinos assistant and when I seen Dr. Katy in the lobby, she told me that we would talk when I got back there, but me and Dr. Katy did not talk and that was very important to me. I needed to speak with her and my appointment was for her. I was told she was with a new patient, but I was in no hurry. I could've waited. I did not mind because I didn't even have a ride to pick me up until 4 o'clock that afternoon.
