Pomona Peds Question

Bridezilla in Training

I had a consult scheduled with Dr. Weissman tonight but he went home sick.  I was supposed to meet with him last Friday as well but he went out of town so they rescheduled for today.  Does this happen often??  I am seeing Dr. Hackell tonight because I just want to pick my pediatrician already.  Let me know what you think of him compared to the other doctors in the practice.  Thanks!!

Dr. Weissman is my doc and thats never happened. We've seen Dr. Sackler twice for sick visits (You see whoever you can for sick visits), Hackell once and Greenberg once. They are nice but not as personable as Weissman IMO.

That's what I thought which is why I tried to schedule one with him... but after two times being cancelled on I was annoyed.  Thanks!

Hackell is not my fav.  Dr. Vogel is our regular guy.

I've been taking the kiddos there for the past 4 years and Dr. Weissman is our regular doctor and this has never happened. We must have had appointments on the same day because C's visit got cancelled last week and tomorrow too... Anyway, we LOVE Dr. Weissman. And a PSA... once you kids hit 2.5-3 years, I would NOT recommend seeing Greenberg unless it's an absolute emergency. He has NO patience for older kids.

Thanks for the heads up.  I called the office back and decided I didn't want to meet with Hackell because obviously I want to see if I click with Weissman.  When I called, I said this was the second time my appointment had been cancelled but the staff seemed nice and apologized for doing this to a new patient.  I'm still wary about it but since many of you ladies have told me great things, I'm still willing to check him out.  We're on for tomorrow at 5:30... unless he cancels a THIRD time.
