Dr. Larry Perich D.O. Ophthalmologist review: dr. overbooking appointments leading to waist of 2-3 hours. need another provider!

The office workers seemed very polite and efficient, but Dr. Larry Perich kept me waiting to be seen 2+ hours after my scheduled appointment time, and all the while video screens in both waiting rooms announce over and over that a healthcare professional will see you shortly. I asked the staff to define shortly and was told 2-3 hours for Dr. Perich. I further learned from the staff that Dr. Perich routinely sets his schedule by double and triple booking patients every 15 minutes to arrive 1 full hour before he even plans to arrive at his office. I made a point of telling Dr. Perich, to his face, that I was very aggravated by these circumstances causing me to miss another scheduled appointment in another town, 3 hours after my appointment time with him. His response was a halfhearted "sorry, but that's how we run this office." Then Dr. Perich wanted to know what my other appointment was for, and who it was with (I answered, but it was none of his business, and it implied that my time and another provider's time was not valuable). I am notifying my insurance company of my dissatisfaction with the way this arrogant physician manages his practice in the way he schedules. He desperately needs another ophthalmologist on staff because he obviously cannot keep up with his patient load in a timely fashion. I was asked for my co-pay a few minutes after arrival but had I known in advance how shabbily Dr. Perich treats his patients, I would not have paid to be devalued and inconvenienced to this degree. I guess having another ophthalmologist on staff might cut into the profits. I am supposed to go back in 6 months but I would prefer another provider.
