My appointment was at 3:15p & a text was sent to come in by 3:10p. I arrived at 3:00p, checked in, & waited. At 3:33p, I went back up to the desk & said my appt was at 3:15. Receptionist said they must be running behind but you're up next to be called. 3:47p, med asst calls me. She then leads me into the area where they're going to give me an eye exam. She asked if I was going to need glasses today. I told her I was there for a consultation. She said I needed to get an eye exam regardless. I told her I just got an eye exam a few weeks ago & all I wanted was a consultation for eyelid surgery. I already knew my insurance would not pay for another eye exam this year (& if they needed, I could have had my optometrist fax over my exam if they needed the info). I think what bothered me was the 30 min wait & when I said to the med asst, "So you guys are running 30 mins behind" & instead of apologizing for the delay, she just said "yeah". What kind of response is that. No empathy.

Dr seemed very busy and had less than four minutes to tell me what the diagnosis was. I’m still waiting for the report so I can schedule with a specialist
