Welcome to My Life...

Kelly, you really have some bad luck lately! Not enough that you have to deal with pain and illness, now there are all these incompetent or rude people at the doctor's offices!

Hope you'll be more lucky with the one in Encino, and hopefully he can help you!

You've been through too much already!

Awww, you guys/girls are very sweet!! (((hugs)))

Its Saturday and I STILL haven't gotten a call back to schedule!! Its utterly rediculous! I'm thinking of writing that doctor a letter so he A: knows what's going on up front while he's trying to practice medicie and B: understands the importance of hiring competant staff. Ugh!

The sad part is, he came highly regarded. One of my doctor's that I saw last week for my possible arthritis referred me to him after I told her what happened with Dr. Assil (mean pain "doctor"). My co-worker's mother just saw this doctor and she LOVED him. And, I had a patient this week that said he was a really great doctor. Oh well...his loss I guess.

What do you think? Should I write a letter to him. Just to inform him?

The doctor I'm seeing on the 16th sounds really great. The patient that recommended him at work seemed to really, really like him. Told me he'd been to numerous doctors (including the mean doc I saw and the one I cant seem to get an appointment with) and this is the only one he felt genuinely cared about him. He told me he'll give you pain medicine, but he monitors you closely - this is EXACTLY what I want!! Keep your fingers crossed this is a good doctor for me.

Hugs,
Kelly

I'd go with the doctor on the 16th.

In the future, I would make the referring doctors make all the arrangements, you show up. It shouldnt be up to you to keep following up just to get into someones office. Most doctors handle all the arrangements and call you with time/date to show up.
Writing a letter would comfort you but the office isnt going to do anything about it. Only letter they will pay attention to is one from a lawyer.
