The inefficiency at Kadlec Gastroenterology is breathtaking! I had my initial consult in February, but then making an appointment for the necessary procedure proved damn near impossible! They schedule appointments only a few weeks ahead, and they won't call patients when a new block of appointments opens up. You have to keep calling them to ask for an appointment, and can go MONTHS being told "Nothing available - call tomorrow/next week/at the end of the month".
Then I got an appointment for the procedure in July, but they canceled the pre-surgery appointment without telling me, and couldn't reschedule my pre-surgery appointment in time. The clueless wonder on the phone told me, "Never mind - just skip the pre-surgery appointment and arrive for your procedure." Apparently she doesn't know that BEFORE a gastric procedure you have to spend several DAYS drinking noxious substances on a schedule to ensure your internal pipes and tubes are clean and empty!
So here I am, 8 months after a concerning diagnosis by my primary care physician, starting the whole process again with a different gastroenterologist because these incompetents still refuse to proactively help with setting up my second set of appointments, and I don't think it's safe for me to spend another half year trying to make this happen. What a pathetic disgrace! read more
