I arrived well – on time for my appointment.
Upon signing in, I was not greeted in a welcoming manner, unless you call having a clipboard tossed on the counter and being asked to complete it.
I sat down, and waited to be called.
I was waiting for about 45 minutes and after ½ hour past my appointment time, I asked the receptionist about the policy concerning integrity to time.
The conversation essentially ended with I will have to wait, there are 4 people in front of me, or I could re-schedule.
This was a follow-up to see if my fracture was healing properly, and the next available appointment was not for two weeks.
I asked to see the office manager. I waited another 25 minutes for the office manager to appear, and when asked why it took so long the response was “ I was in a meeting”.
The receptionist could have told me that 25 minutes earlier. The conversation essentially ended the same way, with the office manager projecting a ½ hour wait, and 4 patients in front of me.
Doing the math, that meant the Doctor intended to spend 7.5 minutes with each of those patients before getting to me. I don’t’ see how that was possible and still deliver quality of care.
When asked about integrity to time, and the impact on the patients schedule, the general message from the office manager was that “that” didn’t concern them
If I kept a client waiting in my business, with no accountability, and no communication, I would most certainly lose that client as a customer. . The office manager did not seem at all concerned about any impact of the firm’s reputation. I was essentially told that the doctors schedule mattered more. I don’t know of anyone who wants to hear that.

I left the facility, immediately got an x-ray at another facility ( who confirmed that many of your patients have the same complaint), and made an appointment with another orthopedic group for tomorrow.
I intend to complain to South Nassau for having recommended Dr. Ticker in the first place.
At no point in any encounter at this office did I feel that I mattered at all, and I did get an admission of an ongoing culture of not being in integrity to time. It seemed to be okay, since the impact impacted every patient equally.
I felt what DID matter- was all the attention to insurance and paperwork being precise & in place. I felt that actually interacting with a patient was just a necessary evil on the eventual path to a payment.
