April 28, 2009 - Met the surgeon

Apr 28, 2009

 So as I promised I would update you on my appointments. I have to say I was so nervous about going but excited at the same time. The orientation was easy they basically just had a few of us in a room going over everything what to expect all that good stuff so that was super easy. I have done alot of research already so to me it was just going over what I already knew but that is good. I have to say I wasnt so pleased with Dr. Rehnke's staff I felt as though I was just a number to them there wasn't a warm inviting feeling to his office staff and that really bothers me. So I left that afternoon and said to myself maybe it was me and I will go back to meet the Surgeon a couple of days later. I had my next appointment and again I got this cold feeling like I was just next in line. I am really having second thoughts about switiching surgeons just for that reason alone. I want to go to his office and know that I am a patient they care about.  I met with Dr. Rehnke and it was ok I wasnt sure what to expect from him but he basically went over what we went through during his orentation class. He asked if I had any questions and by the time I was over talked and pushed through the line I really didnt have much to say.
I dont expect to have their full attention I know they have many more patients they have / are dealing with I get that but I dont want to me treated like a number either. This is my life and I have children I love and I want to know I will be under the best care there is. This is really bothering me and I dont know what to think??? Maybe I am over analizing this but I have to sit on this. I rec'd an email after my appointments from the baratric cordinater providing me with a criteria from the Ins company and I will be commincating with her and if I am still struggling with these feelings I will make a change.
