Yup, my new doctor is fresh out of medical school. I don't think the ink on his diploma is dry yet. He doesn't look a day over 18. Lets just hope everything is still fresh in his mind and he is still willing to learn (two traits the old, alleged doctor didn't have). My appointment was for 9:30AM but The doc didn't arrive at his office until 9:50 and I discovered I was only one of, at least, three patients with a 9:30 appointment. I was shown into the examination room at 10:10 but neglected to check the time when Dr Howser actually appeared. He has an accent, which wouldn't be too bad but he mumbles as well. He took my blood pressure, wrote a prescription for my blood pressure and allergy meds and sent me on my way. It took me seven minutes to drive home where I arrived promptly at 10:45. My guess is that I was waiting in the exam room for about 20 minutes. Not taking into account the fact that I arrived ten minutes early, I figure I was cooling my heels for an hour. I blame the old doctor. I suspect he was accepting new patients right up until the day he retired. The poor new doc is swamped. It takes over two weeks to get an appointment with him. He is not accepting any new patients at this time and currently has a waiting list of 34. I didn't get a great impression from this new fellow but I didn't see him for very long so I will reserve judgement for future visits. For now, I'm just keeping my fingers crossed.
