Pissed!! So imma have to rant. ??

I had an appointment today at 10:10am I called them and told them I was gonna be a little late Bc I live all the way across town and there was BIG traffic today , there was a cimia truck flipped over in the middle of the road, bless their heart...But They told me I had 15mins to get there or I'll have to reschedule it. Okay so I get there and fill my paper work out or what not and she calls me to the front and said we are gonna have to reschedule.. I said I know I got here less than 15mins . She was like your appointment was at 10:10 and you arrived at 10:26 . I said wow I'm over 1min ... she said your late 16mins so we can't see you.. I told them I was stuck in traffic before hand and after . Did that matter? Nope... so now I gotta come in Friday at 9:20am . My thing is them mfs could have squeezed me in!! The waiting room was completely empty!! So yeah I'm pissed Bc I just wasted gas! &' let me remind y'all gas is not cheap!! ?

You know... the old me would've said eff them find another doctor but something similar happened to me once with my sons doctor. I was livid but remembered I had his personal phone number. (He gives it to his newborn parents also pediatric patients with health issues). I left and sent him a text message informing him of how his staff acted and asked if that was indeed his policy. Come to find out he was upset that I "skipped out" on my sons appointment because it was a very important follow up. (That's what his staff told him ?) I guess what I'm trying to say is reschedule so you have a chance to at least speak with the dr because they may not even know what their staff is doing. Express your concerns and if they side with their staff then find another OB. Chances are though with your explanation they're gonna be on your side.

@jen , i would have understood that but they was straight up rude to me , the moment I stepped foot in that office , Either way .. they could have let me know straight up if I was gonna be able to be seen or not. When I called them the first time , instead of them making me sit for 15mins after I got there they should have told me as soon as I told them my name that I wasn't gonna be able to be seen.. And I know for a fact that the rooms was empty Bc when I go they only bring one person back there at a time .. and the other nurses and doctors back there be clowning around goofing off . Like very unprofessional. Sitting on the tables and just being loud like it's a whole get together , So yeah I was pissed Bc I already know they was just being straight up rude and lazy about things!

Just to flip it the other way, as someone who has worked in an office... fifteen minutes doesn't seem like much, but it can throw a complete wrench into things. It doesn't take much to completely derail the schedule for the day. Squeezing someone in usually means a provider isn't getting lunch or the whole schedule is going to be off the rest of the day, affecting patients and the staff.

Plus there are lots of other ways things go awry... emergencies, unexpected sick visits... the things that have to happen. Strict appointment times are just one way the office can try to minimize the impact on everyone.

Also, unfortunately an empty waiting room doesn't equal empty exam rooms, or an empty schedule to follow.

That said, I'm surprised they didn't make an exception when you called ahead of time to tell them there was an overriding issue. When we had issues like that we would do out best to accommodate and explain there might be a wait, etc. while we tried to slip them into another slot.

For some reason, ultrasound offices are like that. You must be 10-15 mins early or they'll reschedule you. I probably would've cried!

Wow you even called ahead to let them know you were running late! I would be changing doctors. How many times do we wait in the waiting room for up to an hour for THEM! ?

Yeah I'm going to do that first thing Friday . They said the nurse called and said she couldn't see me Bc I was late .. so they basically said it was her call. So best believe Ms. Amy is going to get some words from me.

Sorry op I think you misunderstood my comment lol. I meant they were most likely behind schedule so it shouldn't have mattered if you were late. That's crap that they sent you away.

Ask to talk to the office manager and tell them what happened - that's completely uncalled for!

Tell the Dr! My PCPs office did that to me and my Dr was pissed and addressed it.

Нравится Ответить

I'd be so embarrassed and upset. You know the doctor was probably behind (mine always is) and you would have been sitting around for a while anyway.

Нравится Ответить

Really 1 freaking minute?!?!?! I'd be changing drs. That'd would've pissed me off beyond belief!!! I've arrived over 15 minutes late at appointments and they still took me even with there 15 minute rescheduling policy!

Нравится Ответить

I would have spoken to a manager because damn really.
