Yikes. There's a reason this place has such bad reviews. I've been having severe hives all over my body for the past 8 months. I've been trying to get in with an endocrinologist who my moms friend recommended because when my blood tests come back, we were told to be prepared for a positive on the autoimmune disease known as Hashimoto's. This endocrinologist was BOOKED, and was the only endocrinologist in the state that even took my insurance (out of state) so my next best option was to get an appointment with an allergy doctor, who would know at least something about hives, and then have them refer me to LabCorp with all the right blood tests I needed taken.
So I arrived to my 2:30 appointment at 2:23, and the woman in front of me took 8 minutes so finally I meet the woman at the window at 2:31. I told her I had an appointment, showed her my insurance card, and then all of a sudden she gets a weird look on her face. She goes, "this insurance card has been termed"... I am not stupid, I consider myself to be rather intelligent, but I'm only 18, so I don't know what that means. She then goes, "your new card got delivered on August 31" (never got a new card because they delivered it to my fathers address, which is in Colorado) so I asked her if there was anything I could do to speed up the process because I really needed to see this doctor today. She then doesn't even give me back my insurance card, but says, "call your dad or insurance, maybe they can help". My dad and I, though I'm on his insurance plan, do not speak. So I had to ask for the insurance card back. Then I call and I'm on the phone, outside in 105° weather trying to get my new ID# and group#. After being transferred 4 times, I get the numbers, so I run back inside and hand her the little piece of paper I wrote them down on.
This is where is actually gets sad. She looks me in the eyes and says, "well it's 2:58 now so you've missed your appointment, so I'm going to have to reschedule". She could see that I had tears in my eyes because all I wanted was some sort of relief from my excruciating hives, but instead of comforting me, she goes, "well to be fair, we do always recommend patient come in 15 minutes early", which is funny considering when I called to set this appointment, not once did anyone tell me to arrive 15 minutes early. So then she rescheduled me, and also made it so it was at the furthest location from my house of course. She had no remorse. I understand that there's not much she can do as an office manager, but if there was really something wrong with my insurance card, then tel me how I went to go see my primary care physician 3 days prior, and everything went smoothly.
I made the rescheduled appointment for the next day, and as I walked out of the building I burst into tears because of how frustrated I was with the entire situation. She didn't attempt to help me with the insurance, and treated me like it was my fault. Their chandler location wasn't much better but I would have to write another novel for that experience. If you, or your children are having any sort of allergy problems, please look elsewhere, because in the end, I was the one who figured out what was wrong with me. I now have to spend another $50 for this endocrinologist, who I should've just waited for and went to in the first place. I also apologize to all the other Yelpers who have experienced this place, because their reviews are quite similar to mine. read more
