Dr. Pena has a history of being considerably late. My wife is also his patient but will not schedule an appointment with him unless it is the first one in the morning. Today I had a 1:30 appointment. At 1:25 the nurse called me back to check my weight, blood pressure and temperature. By 1:45 she said the doctor would be in, and left the room. At 2:35, more than an hour after my scheduled appointment...nobody was courteous enough to keep me informed of the doctor's status... I put on my sweatshirt and jacket, then left. On my way out I stood near the nurse's desk. She was on the phone. Though she saw me, she continued the call for about 3 minutes, then interrupted her call, and said I was next for the doctor. I told her my appointment was more than an hour ago and I had another commitment. She asked if I would like to reschedule. I said I would call. Probably will not.
