Marieka,
I'm confused. I thought you already were being treated at HUP. Why isn't the one doctor at HUP calling the other and getting you the appt. What dept is your doctor in and who is doing your surgery, dental or otorhinolaryngology? Since you do not have cancer, they might not give you an appt as quickly as some other patient, but I have always been given an appointment in another dept within a few days. I don't think any of the secretaries in otorhino ever answer their phone unless it's another physician calling.

I've been at patient at HUP since 1997 and have met your cousin although he was not my surgeon. I also spent a lot of time in the dental dept in 1997. I'm curious as to who your doctors are. Since we are not supposed to post doctors names on the board, email me the names of who you are seeing - jumei01@ca.com.

Tkae care,
Eileen
