Pushing too much??? U be my judge!
Do you or have you ever felt like you were bugging your surgeons office to move things alone? All of the list of things I needed to have done are done and completed. They have been for about two week s with the exception of my mammogram which has just been done and sent to their office.
I check the website daily and they never update it ,so I email them. I am starting to feel like maybe I shouldn't bug them.
Any experiances you have had would greatly be appreciated.

When I followed up with my surgeon I would call and speak with somebody or leave a message... I always allowed 48 hours for them to get back to me. If they didnt I would call back again the following day.

At the same time I didn't want to feel pushy either. Someone told me though that it was MY HEALTH and they can't continue to do this to me, because I am THEIR client. So...I did take the bull by the horns and called them and said that I would be there in x amount of days to find out what else I could do to help move the process along. I got a phone call back within a couple hours.
Best of luck to you. You have one of the best Docs around. You know his office is busy!! Especially now with the end of the year approaching and lots of people trying to get in their insurance needs prior to the new year.
what are you having done at Dr. B? email me if you want.
Thanks!

THIS IS MY TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
I never had real issues with the office staff at Drs B & P. However, you are your own best advocate with your insurance co, so do what you need to do. It may mean sending the info in yourself. Have you made a friend of someone at your insurance? Make sure you do that. It helps a ton. As an aside, I found out yesterday on this board that Dr. P and wife had a baby last week. So, I would bet the office has been a little short handed for a week or two while he is doing the daddy thing. That may be part of the issue. Hang in there, and take charge of your health. Robin
They have everything now, I did it. I sent an email and told them I was going to stop by to find out what else was needed. They emailed me back right away. They have it all and are getting ready to send it into insurance. I am going to wait until Thursday of this week and call and follow up to make sure they do it.
I know how busy they are, we all are busy. I just want to make sure my stuff does not get lost in the shuffle.
Thank you all for your great advice. I can't wait to hear back. Pins and needles for sure.
