Re: How dare him!?? Bad Doctor experience-

[Guest guest]

hey jenyfer!!

that is totally crazy!! i dont blame you for being upset!! i

always get a call from a doctors office if they need to reschedule

and to see if we have a problem with that!! they sound very

unprofessional, you are probably better off seeing someone else form

the way it sounds!!! good luck!! by the way how is the rest of

team lapish doing?

I had this happen to me back in July with Liam's Neurologist. I never got a

call confirming, so I called the day before the appointment, they usually

confirm 2 days before. I was told the appoint was changed to the day after

my original and was with the nurse practionar.. I do not get along with her.

I was then told that they would not change an appointment without speaking

to the parent first..BULL I would never have agreed to that. So she spoke

with the Neuro, after I complained for 20 minutes to the regular front desk

person and the scheduler and the office manager.... and he said to come the

time of my regular appointment and he would squeeze me in, he was triple

booked... I got there and the place was empty, I was in and out quickly and

when I asked the Dr about it.. " he said no one talked to him and he did not

need to reschedule any appointments for that day, and he was not triple

booked!!

Hi everybody- I need to blow some steam off to ya'll because I know

you all can relate...

ok- I made a orthopedic appt for Pippin 2 mo ago for Feb 21. With a

new ortho Dr -our previous left the practice- no big deal-we'd only

seen him once.

On Feb 9th I received a LETTER stating that my appt has been

cancelled and rescheduled for April 24

BECAUSE:

" per notes in file, patient is to be followed up in 1 year.

If problems please call . "

So-I call and tell them she is having issues-and they tell me that

the first avail appt is in April! So I call the ofc manager and let

her know my problems and they are:

When Pip was seen last April- she was not walking

She is tippy toeing on her shorter side

She is falling down

Her stance is very very wide

She isn't running (27 months old)

Her PT says it's time for a lift

Not to mention-the ofc canceling my appt without calling me to see if

she did have a problem. And how DARE a Dr. (or dr assistant) just

look in a chart and reschedule an appt.

If my insurance will pay for an office visit---I'll go every

Friday if I choose!

So- the ofc mgr say's she'll relay this to the Dr. and see

if she can get me in this month- (which I am demanding!)

She calls me back shortly and says that even though Pip

is having these problems - it wouldn't really benefit seeing

her in Feb, because they won't do anything until 1 year anyway-

OK- I don't believe that for 1 minute- you do things when you

need it! And if that is the case- at least examine her -and then tell

me that, -I might believe it- but would get another opinion.

Long story short-I will not take Pippin to a doctor who won't let me

have an appt when I say she needs to be seen! I'm livid! How dare

them!??!!! I've got an appt with another ped ortho on March 1st. I

can't wait to contact the other Dr and cancel my appt. maybe I

won't --I'm sure if I tell them why, they probably do not care

anyways!

Thanks for listening-

Jenyfer
