He's a very popular doctor, but you will wait a LONG time to get an appointment and a LONG time in the waiting room and the exam room. All that aside, his bedside manner is great and he truly cares about his patients. He gets there early in the morning and doesn't usually leave until around 10pm every night.

Concur with the previous comments about the long wait time. He is a great doc but he needs to be more realistic with his scheduling. I also have appointments and cannot afford to wait an extra 45 minutes to 1 hour to see my doctor. I puts me in a position of having to walk out of the appointment or miss my own equally important appointments/meetings. I have talked to his staff about this and they tell me that he has been this way for the last 30 years. Unfortunately, I too may be searching for a new doctor if this is not solved.

Having been a patient for 19 years, I find it's time to find a Dr. who is more available without an extremly long wait in the office. He's a wonderful doc and wonderful person but when I'm sick I want to see my Doc and not wait forever in the office. Is it poor office management? Also, I believe his plate is just too full.
