I would... But because of my on going problems with the abdomenial pain I'm affraid of alienating myself. I already feel like Dr. Irgau is getting annoyed with me.

I think that you should call and ask to speak to the office manager. What has happened to you is not good and someone needs to know so that this doesn't continue to happen to people.  By calling and reporting this....you might actualy help the staff get more help. 
   

For the amount of patients they are treating and with the practice growing by leaps and bounds it seems to me that they need to take a deep breath and get more tactical.  They need to hire more help - real help - Natasha shouldn't be the only one handling the prescription/refill line.  In most cases patients should not have to wait more than 24 hours to have a prescription called in or get a call back from Natasha - waiting 3 to 5 days is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!!!!!!!!! 

Maybe the doctors need to survey some of their patients to get feedback - get a survey going!

I am saddened that this happened to you.  I go to my pcp for all of my follow-up.  When she is in doubt she sends me to specialists without a second thought.   I love Dr Irgau and Dr Peters....they are both awesome doctors but I do believe that their practice has gotten so big that it can feel unmanageable.  

I have heard of people waiting hours...like an entire morning or even an entire day to see a pain management specialist or a surgeon.  Sometimes emergencies come up and the schedules go out of wack because of an emergency.  I am okay with waiting because I know that if I become that emergency they will be there for me spending that time with me.  I will not let a doctor rush me because they are trying to make up time.    

Usually when the specialist is behind, the person behind the desk has given me a heads-up.  My knee surgeon's office will even post a sign showing how long you may need to wait for your appointment depending on which doctor you are seeing.  

Best advice.....try to get the very first appointment.  The earlier the better and the less time you will be waiting.  Also....pain is your body trying to tell you something....listen to your body....you deserve to be healthy and painfree.
