I really, really wanted for Dr. Jones to be a good fit as my doctor, as I did like her as a person…read more It was apparent to me from the start that she is an intelligent, capable physician who has a lot of potential. However, she is scattered and disorganized to the point to where I became concerned that her carelessness could be harmful. During my first appointment, Dr. Jones asked me to write down a list of my current medications, and then asked that I highlight what needed to be refilled, and requested that I write down what medications I've had bad reactions to. I carefully listed each medication into the correct category, we discussed the list, and she agreed to refill what was under the "refill" section. When I got to the pharmacy to pick up the prescriptions, I saw that Dr. Jones had called in prescriptions for the medication that I'd had bad reactions to, and refilled medication that I did not need refilled; which of course my insurance didn't cover. She had mixed up the lists, and what is worse is that she insisted that it was the pharmacy's mistake. On another occasion, she wrote me a prescription for a specific ailment that I was suffering from, and when I came for my follow up appointment, she read from her notes that she had put me on a completely different medication for an ailment that I have never had in my life. When I explained that her information was incorrect, she insisted that I was mistaken and my memory was bad. Perhaps I caught Dr. Jones during a difficult time period as she had just moved offices, but good organization is important in medicine, and I hope that she has improved her practice.
