I was referred to Capital Digestive Care in Chesapeake by my Primary Care Doctor in Elizabeth City. This CDC office in Chesapeake has refused to give me an appointment for a serious issue that I am having because I was seen in the Princess Anne office of Capital Digestive Care by a PA who was a disgrace to her profession. She was 45 minutes late for my appointment and made no apologies. During my wait time I had to listen to a "nurse" tell me all about her breast cancer, which was extremely inappropriate. I cannot and will not go back to that office. It should be my choice about which practice I attend. And I trust my PCP to refer me to the best practice, in the area, for my issue.
Capital Digestive Care in Chesapeake will not provide me with an appointment because I was seen at the Princess Anne practice almost a year ago. The policy seems very discriminatory and unprofessional.
The meaning of the Hippocratic Oath seems to be absent and these Practitioners who do not imbue the essence and meaning of that oath, which says,
"I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person's family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.
If I do not violate this oath, may I enjoy life and art, respected while I live and remembered with affection thereafter.
May I always act so as to preserve the finest traditions of my calling and may I long experience the joy of healing those who seek my help."
At the very least the front desk staff at the Chesapeake office of Capital Digestive Care are rude and completely unsympathetic in their unwavering policy to neglect patients who have been specifically referred to them. I truly wonder if the Medical team understands this policy and if they know how disrespectful their staff seems to be. I would love to receive a response to this review and hopefully recover from this terrible experience. My guess is this will be completely ignored. read more
