    I was very grateful that I was able to get in earlier than my first scheduled appointment due to a cancellation. I did have to call initially to set up the appointment even though I was told that the department would call me following the referral from my primary. Also I was told that PT would call to set up an appointment following my appointment with Dr CHESTELSON. Still haven't received a call, so I will initiate that as well. If the patient needs to initiate appointment calls, please just say that rather than continually say that departments will call when they don't. That does not meet expectations nor patient satisfaction.
