I had surgery with Dr. Boyev. Here are things that they could have warned me about:
-I would wakeup with a long piece of my hair on my lap. (They shaved 1-inch of hair surrounding my whole ear. It would have been nice if they had told me that before the surgery. I had to go to work and school looking like that.)
-I met the doctor right before my surgery and he talked to me for less than a minute. After the surgery, I saw him for about 5 minutes. I wish he would have spent more time in the office with me.
-Every time I called his office (total of 3 times during business hours), it went to the answering machine. I left a few messages with my name, phone, question,etc and have yet to hear from his office.
Overall, it is hard to get a hold of him.
I would like to ask him a few questions about my hearing but I cannot reach him in his office. When I go for my 3rd follow-up, I hope I can see him (instead of his residents) so that I can ask him questions. I do not know if I should address his lack of interest in me as patient and my concerns. I do not want to sound unprofessional or rude to him. All in all, if you have a chance, choose a doctor that has time to spend with you and is personable.
