Beacon is unreliable and unable to schedule phlebotomy. Last year I had to schedule the same blood…read moredraw five times. iIt was scheduled 6 months in advance. They called to reschedule due to insufficient staffing. The week before the new date, they called again to reschedule due to insufficient staffing. A friend suggested I get the draw at the beacon hospital. I went to the hospital to schedule a blood draw and was informed that I had to call scheduling foran appointment, but they could take walk ins. I waked in the next day and got my blood draw, but the staff told me they would not be able to take walk ins once the new wing was completed due to work load. I reviewed my blood test on line to find they had only done half the testing the doctor requested. I went back to Granger to get new orders to take to Lab Corp, and they said they could work me in the next morning between patients. The next morning I went to the Granger lab and I was the only patient there. meanwhile, my wife was experiencing the same problem, and they told her to go to Lab Corp. In December, I needed to schedule more bloodwork, and asked if I should go to Lab Corp. Beacon assured me they had hired more phlebotomists abd the problems were over. Feb 12 I received a text telling me to rescdule my April blood draw as they did not have enough staff to cover it. They are unreliable, incompetent, and confused.

Unfortunately, I will never recommend Beacon Medical Group. I have had trouble scheduling…read moreappointments and receiving medicine from this provider for years. Recently I had a very disappointing experience with this practice. I went for a medication checkup, and my provider was adamant that I receive a pap smear. I was caught off guard and declined for that specific appointment, and wished to come back at a later date when properly prepared. At that time, my doctor continued to pressure me, which was extremely uncomfortable as a patient. My doctor seemed very unsatisfied with my personal choice about my body. I called the office because I still felt quite unsettled and voiced my concern. No reply. About a week later, I received a letter that I had been released as a patient due to a breakdown in the relationship. If the doctor's approach had been different, I would have complied. I believe patients have a right to make informed decisions about their own health, and I felt that my boundaries were not respected in the slightest. This experience was unsettling and felt unprofessional. I expected a level of trust and open communication from a healthcare provider, but instead, I felt dismissed simply for exercising my right to choose. I would not recommend this practice to anyone who values patient autonomy and respectful patient care. Women (and men) deserve compassionate care with patience and humility and this practice does not meet expectations.
