The receptionist told me upon my arrival that they had to cancel my appt bc the dr did not come in that day. When I asked why they didn’t call me she said she did. When I asked why she didn’t leave a message bc I traveled a distance and paid bridge and other tolls and gas for a round trip of 1.5 hours of driving, she said my voice mail was full. It was not full. My daughter called me and it went to vm. Upon checking, I saw she called me around 9AM, did not choose to leave a message and never called again for a 3pm appt. And never said she was sorry for any of it. Inconsiderate, inefficient, incapable of doing her job.
Very knowledgable easy communication perfect diagnosis that took various doctor over 6 years to figure out. He saw my ultrasound my history + diagnosed me another condition which I would have to get treated elsewhere but it took me 6 years of other failed diagnoses which he did in 10 minutes. Happy. /
