I had been a patient of Dr Forbes for four or five years.  I saw her twice. I was shoved off on her PA the other times I requested an appt because she was booked 8-10 weeks out.  The reason for long delays I think are great doctoring skills (she misdiagnosed me), but lack of follow up on the part of her staff.  She had tests run that I never got results for.  Her bookkeeper bordered on fraudulent.  We all know not to piss off the nurses, but they know if you you're happy.  I came away with bruises.  Two years after changing doctors, I'm still getting emails telling me it's time for my checkup.  Just try to get off that mailing list.
