Dr. Nitke is an excellent provider, however the organizations needs to have a guideline in place for patients to know in case they need to contact their provider. All providers need time off to have time with family and enjoy holidays as well. No patient should be told to seek medical treatment outside of the provider first. Dr. Nitke has been thrown under a bus by whoever intercepts her messages and or phone calls. This is unacceptable to me as a patient of hers for many years, and I also think that Dr. Nitke deserves more respect from your organization and associates. I was actually forced to make an appointment  with another provider at a different organization  due to the untruths told to me.
