Thompson Peak ER sought Dr Wareing's consult on my husband's CT. Thinking he saw something, my husband was moved to the Scottsdale Osborne hospital to see Dr Wareing. An ultrasound was performed the next morning and it took four calls to the doctor to get his response to the test, not a vascular problem, get a GI consult. He never called us directly, never came to my husband's room until the hospital contacted him to say how upset we were. Never apologized for the inconvenience, never said he made the wrong call, only heard how busy (and important) he is. 24 hours wasted and now in a hospital 35 minutes from home instead of 10. Still waiting on a diagnosis :(
