And to the original poster, you indeed DO need to be more patient and
quit complaining. It is common for multiple doctors to practice at a
location. Retail or private. Thats whats happening at both locations
I work at.

It is NOT common for this to happen in a private practice.

Typical private practices may have multiple doctors, but follow-ups
are typically scheduled with the prescribing doctor so a patient has
continuity from eye exam to contact lens exam to completion of
fitting.

A "private practice" where a patient has one doctor perform the exam,
another perform the contact lens exam, another doctor perform the
contact lens dispense and another doctor perform the follow-up is a
wolf is sheep's clothing.

As far as the other comments by Dr. Leukoma regarding private practice
vs retail chains, I find them to be *generally* true. Sorry RM.
