This may be a blessing in disguise!
many, many wives and husbands and children are the office managers of the doctors offices in our PHO group. I just don't find that unusual in the least.

We used to see him together, till the office made a stupid change to their policy that does NOT allow spouses in the office together anymore...which I posted about here on the DIS. So that is why I was involved in my DH's appt...not that that is your business how I work my marriage.
Dax, you did nothing wrong.
I would also NOT pay for the copies of the records. He has discharged your family. You are entitled to those records at his expense, not yours.
as for staff and HIPPA- I have had nurses talking to OTHER parents about my DD and her "issues" they were reported and written up. in one case, one was fired as this was her 3rd write up for the same thing
I think if the pt wants somone in the exam room with them it is their right. In some circumstances it is extremely important to have a second set of ears.
Scheduling your husband for a time when the clinic wasn't even open would really get my goat. I wouldn't leave that alone. What have you got to lose...you're already kicked out so go ahead and make a scene about it! Did she give you an appointment card with the time written down? If she did, just think of all the fun you could have with that.
SHE DID!!! This is what is still really bothering me...The appt card is actually STILL posted on the refrig!! Thats what gets me. We had to waste gas and time for a non-existent appt!
I thought about writing a letter, but I am sure my Dr does not open the mail himself...so that is also probably pointless.
There were other patients in the office when it all went down, both times, and one even told me on her way out she too had issues with the wife.
I never claimed to write to the medical board, but I want to do something. As a consumer, I was treated poorly. Normally, I would not hesitate to use the BBB on a place...but what about a dr office.
I am enjoying reading everyone's opinions, and all the suggestions too. I do not planning on going back to the drs office, as much as I enjoy him. I am currently looking for another dr, but I do now know a lot of ppl to ask about opinions, so I am flying blind.
You can send it so he has to sign for it specifically.

Thanks for some of the quick replies..some more info..
On speaking DIRECTLY with the Dr...I dont think its possible. He NEVER is seen at the front area, he is usually so busy with patients. I honestly dont think he is even AWARE of what happened. So I think she made the decision to get rid of me, instead of dealing with me personally. She took the easy way out.
ON speaking with others in the office(patients), NOT one of them likes the staff, but LOVE the dr. SO its not just us.
His wife is a psycho. Like I said, this is not the first time I have had issues with her.
