Physician - Physician SSM Health Employee Review

Physicians don't get a say in important decisions that affect practice, equipment purchased, hiring staff. I guess some physicians do, but I sure don't get listened to, and I do speak up. SSM is cheap about otherwise lower paid staff which really stretches that staff. Or we don't have the support we need for the "extended hours" we are asked to have. Physicians could do more if the office was better staffed. I also get the feeling that I am completely disposable: that even though my patients and staff would miss me, administration couldn't care less if I left. I feel like a RVU-generator. In addition, I have been disappointed in lack of faithfulness to mission. They call themselves Catholic, but a lot of things go on that are not in line with Catholic teaching.
