I did hear from his coordinator who keep me informed. I was in pain and wanted a surgery date which she said it would be awhile. Weeks passed and no word Most of my calls to her were not returned. When I did get a call returned it was were not scheduling until next year. I asked his office if I could be referred to another Dr I never heard back. Again poor communication. In Sept I gave up and was seen by Dr Sima in templeton. He agreed I needed a full knee and his staff began the process.The process was well coordinated, great communication and had my knee done in Nov and the surgery came out great.

Noone says "you're welcome, thank you, goodbye" if you initiate a hello, thank you or goodbye, don't expect to be responded to. Just a snotty/snobby bunch of people who found each other and work together. Even Dr. Dusch saunters out of your appt room without a goodbye, she just exits. Rude, rude and rude.

Incompetence and Snowflakes…read more What happened to this place??? I saw a doctor here a few years ago and had a completely pleasant and professional experience. I fractured my scapula a couple of weeks ago, x-rays in the ER and a referral to CCO. I called CCO the next day to schedule an appointment, got voicemail, so I left the details and asked for a call back. Called again each of the next two days, left messages, and waited for a callback. Nothing. By Thursday, I called my primary, asked for a PT referral (which they sent the same day) and went to PT the next day to deal with all the pain and muscle stiffness. PT noticed that the ER referred me to the spine guy at CCO, not the shoulder guy. So on the way home, I stopped by CCO with my ER referral paperwork from Monday , and asked to set an appointment with their shoulder specialist. The nice lady behind the desk, said she understood why I'd want to see the shoulder guy but had to get the spine guy to agree that the shoulder guy was the right specialist to see me, and assured me they'd be back in touch shortly. For a minute, I thought she was saying I could wait there in the lobby while she got that approval. It wasn't until Thursday the next week that I got the call to set an appointment... with the Physician's Assistant... in a week. I told the lady on the phone that I didn't see the point in seeing a PA after 3 weeks with the injury, and that I wanted to see the shoulder physician. Confused, she asked whether I wanted the appointment or not. I clarified that I didn't see the point in seeing a PA 3 weeks after my injury, and that while they'd been "dickin' around with their internal process trying to get me in", I'd already seen my primary, had 2 PT sessions, and one with my Rolfer / Massage therapist. As I was finishing that sentence, she said my language was unacceptable and hung up. To CCO, I'm sorry for saying "dickin' around". For the snowflake on the phone and for the management over there, please expect that injured patients trying to get acute care might be frustrated when it takes you two weeks to do something that should take 10 minutes.

Because I had an evening engagement, I was not able to wait, and told the staff so, but was not offered an apology, or another appointment time.

Not sure if it is a problem with the communication between office staff and DO and PAs.
