The Saga Continues

Today we saw Jack's new pediatrician. She has an office out in Beverly Hills, right near CS Hospital. Jack's doctor is Amy Weimer; she's a young gal--looks fresh out of med school--but a REALLY good doctor. She was efficient, but not rushed. We gave her Jack's brief medical history. We dropped the names of Dr Wong, Dr Ferry, and Dr Trento, and it was so nice to hear that she knows these guys, so we didn't have to explain who they are, etc.

She typed everything into her computer (the way it should be), which I think is very efficient because instead of looking back through charts (which, in my experience, most doctors don't do), she can just click and pull up his complete history. :)

Anyway, she put in the referrals for Dr Wong and Dr Trento right in the computer. She told us that, on the way out, we could pick up the authorization number for Dr Wong (instead of the week-long wait it normally is). The gal at the front desk said to call back later or tomorrow, and she'd give us the authorization number for Dr Trento.

Just like that. No waiting, no guessing. THIS is the way medical groups should be run; NOT the run around we always got before.

So, tomorrow we'll call and get the auth # for Dr Trento, schedule a consult with him, and then schedule surgery.


So far, in my experience, it pays to wait for the best. We're incredibly happy, and C and I just gave sighs of relief when we left. :)

That's all. No drama. Yay!



P.S. I'll let you know how the visit with Dr Trento goes, and when surgery is.
