This doesn't make sense

[RareBreed]

I just called Dr Robert Miller's office to schedule an appointment for Friday. I was told that they only take same day appointments now and to call back on Friday. When did this start? I can't understand the purpose of this. Now instead of guaranteeing my son has an appointment, I have to hope that I can get him one.

It's been that way for months. I don't like it.

So, if they only take same day appointments how do they know they're not available until Friday? Am I missing something?? It is Monday, right? Hehe...

I don't like it either. I called in December for an appointment and without seeing my son (just based on the symptoms I described) they called in a prescription for him. Maybe it's time for a new doctor.

I left their office a LONG time ago! Dr. Reed was the only good thing that office had but unfortunatley it wasnt enough to make me stay. I actually sent him a letter asking him to let me know when he decided to go out in his own

I loved Dr Brubaker. She was with the office years ago and left about 4yrs ago. I agree with you though. Dr Reed is great.

They do that for sick visits. If you are trying to schedule a physical, you have to make those appointments several weeks in advance.

Dr. Miller himself is getting worse as he gets older. He's been rough with my kids and then doesn't understand why they get upset. Dr. Reed is better and the newest doctor in the practice, Dr. Smith is wonderful.
