Hi All,

Hope you're having a good day.

Anyone else have trouble getting hold of Dr. H.'s office? I've been leaving messages for two weeks to book a first appt, but haven't heard back.

Any idea what is going on?

Best,

They are no longer accepting new patients, I'm afraid.

Keep trying though. Eventually you will get through and they can put you on a waiting list. I would; however, expect a 4-8 month wait. If you have your heart set on that place, stay with it though!
Good luck!

Thanks, All!

I followed Pony's advice and persisted; incredibly, someone answered the phone today, and I have an appt in August!

Keep calling!

It must really be hard for patients to contact him once they are a patient of his. Whew.

I'm not sure about that, Tu; the person I spoke with have me an extension to press which will get me to a person. That said, I haven't tried it yet [Smile]

The only way I got in (after waiting 4 months for a return call) was by pressing "0" and speaking to someone live and in person. I pleaded my case and got an appointment for 5 days later. Be persistent!
