Julie,
Dr Foote will be doing my surgery, and I am having the same problems with that office.  I call and leave a message but no return call.   This went on for almost  three weeks., I  called  the superviser for clerical Kim.
After that call things started to happen a little faster.
Good Luck,
Jan

Jan -
That was just what I was thinking of doing next week.  Thanks for the suggestion and good wishes.  Good luck to you, too.

It doesn't matter that they have changed practices, and they now have the excuse of being behind with the move -- that practice is SO frustrating for SO many reasons.  Such talented surgeons, and they have surrounded themselves with less than adequete support staff.  I've just accepted it, and quit going to any appointments.  I'll see Kemmeter again if surgical intervention is necessary, but if not, done with them!  Too bad, there is so much potential with that practice, but they tend to ignore patient feedback.

Try asking for the Practice Manager:  Kim McCorriston.  She is sometimes responsive, other times not.  That is the best I can say about her.

Thanks, Kim.  I did finally reach the surgery coordinator.  She said my file looked complete but that she needed to speak with a supervisor before scheduling the surgery.  She was to have called me back the next morning (yesterday).  So far, I've heard nothing, but I'll call again today.

Good.  I can't wait to hear that you have a surgery date and that you have breezed through another successful surgery by the wonderful Dr. Kemmeter!
