Q:  Why do I have to see a different doctor sometimes?

A:  While we strive to have you see the doctor of your choice, scheduled days off, surgeries, previously scheduled appointments, emergencies, training time for new employees and management responsibilities all make time demands on our doctors.

Usually calling and scheduling an appointment or surgery a few days in advance will ensure that you can see the doctor of your choice.

Our doctors work varying schedules and we try to allow them adequate time to perform non-medical tasks.  In addition, each of the doctors usually is scheduled off during a weekday so that their hours are not so unreasonable.

In addition, we try to schedule the hospital's Chief of Staff and founder, Dr. David Hall, to have less appointment time available so that he can have the time necessary to effectively manage the hospital and our staff.
