I consider that the provider rating consists of two elements: the provider and the staff. My rating on Dr. Ramsey is five stars, however the staff unfortunately knocks down my rating. The punctuality is based SOLELY on the staff
First, Dr. Ramsey:
Dr. Ramsey is WONDERFUL and I heartily recommend him for an OB/GYN. He's caring, upbeat, listens carefully, and makes you feel that the only reason he came to work was to see you. He performed my hysterectomy using a procedure that was very new at the time (he was one of the OB/GYNs in the area who was trained in it). He talked me through the entire procedure during my appointment with him and again before the procedure. I have tremendous respect and admiration for him.
Now, the staff:
The wait time is atrocious. A med that I'm on requires that I come every other week for a 10-minute exam (blood pressure and weight) done by a nurse. I always get the first appointment of the day which is at 8:30 and I get there five minutes or so early to check in. Then comes the wait. And the wait. And the wait. Almost always it's at least 30 minutes (I time it on my cellphone). I end up back at the receptionist's desk and nicely reminder that my appointment was at 8:30, what the current time is, and ask how much longer will it take. I'm seen shortly thereafter. I don't know where the disconnect is. How long would I continue to wait if I didn't go back to the receptionist and nicely nudge?
I'm unemployed (and desperately job-searching) so I can tolerate the wait. I bring a book with me to pass the time. I can't imagine how I will manage to work an 8-hour day and have to take off extra time waiting to be seen.
Summary:
As I said earlier, Dr. Ramsey is WONDERFUL and I can't imagine going anywhere else. I really recommend him...if you can tolerate the long office wait for exams that the nurses perform.
