I was FINALLY able to book an appointment with my osteopath. I'd been told emphatically that I couldn't see him until August, but when I phoned to book I learned that he's now available in July. I said I needed to schedule the physical that was originally scheduled for March. I was then told I couldn't have a physical, as those are non-urgent. I could, however, come in for an office visit if I have a concern. As a high-risk senior with multiple issues I do indeed have concerns! The doctor's recommendation is for me to come in monthly, and yet I haven't seen him since November, not for lack of trying. The Powers That Be at Cedars seem to only be thinking about young and healthy patients and not those of us with ongoing issues who need to be monitored on a regular basis. They are completely out of touch with much of their patient population.
