She's not super outspoken and warm and fuzzy but I'm not here for that. I'm here to find out if I'm going to live or if I'm going to die. I liked her.

I made an appointment for a follow up visit in 2-3 weeks. They were nice and professional. My issue is what happened at the follow up appointment. I had to take time off from work and drive in for the visit. The wait in the lobby was not too long. They took me back to a room and said the doctor would be in. He was there in about 3 minutes. So very quick. After a minute of small talk he opens my file and looks it over. He looks at me and says "Your iron is a little low." I respond " Ok. what do I need to do?" He says "Nothing. We will check it again in 6 months." I told him "Really. This could have been a phone call." He responded " Sometimes it's hard to get a patient on the phone." So I took time off from work and drive down to see him and all he says is "Your iron is a little low." This could have been a phone call with a nurse, they could have sent me a letter or an email, or it could have been on Patient Portal. Instead, for the privilege of seeing the Dr. face to face, I was billed over $200. I did call and spoke to someone and they said that it is just policy. I would understand if it was something important that we needed to discuss treatment or next steps, but not "Your iron is a little low." It is these kind things that give the system a bad name and leaves people feel like they have been taken advantage of. I am definitely not a satisfied customer.

If you're looking for competency in communication, look elsewhere. Almost too many stories to tell…read morein this forum, but simple things like lost appointments (after my dad travelled 2 hours to be told they didn't have him in the system, yet had gotten a reminder about the appointment) to just now getting a call asking why he'd missed an appointment last week. 1) We'd been told his oncologist conferred with his GP and recommended 'stop treatments' so assumed his office would know to cancel appointments 2) Because of their history of bad communications, we called to cancel the appointments, but big surprise, they did not do so. Raises so many questions regarding his care and entry into hospice. Save yourself the frustration.

I had half my left lung removed, then chemotherapy. After I had a scan. I was declared Cancer free by Cancer Partners of Nebraska. At this time, I had chest pain which I notified my Oncologist. He was unconcerned referred to my family doctor. 6 months later I go in for another scan, I again inform my Oncologist of my chest pain. Again, unconcerned they scan me and declare again I'm cancer free. My pain continued 3 months later I now have a pain in my right hip. My doctor declares likely bursitis and sends me to therapy. Two months later I call my Oncologist office and tell them I suspicious since my pain doesn't go away. The staff notifies my Oncologist who reply's I have an appointment next month and I should come in as scheduled. This is my 6 months checkup. I'm in terrible pain and have trouble managing both my chest and hip. I'm often in tears and can't sleep because of the pain. My appointment finally arrives. I get scanned, again my oncologist reads the results and declares me cancer free. I insist he explains to me why my pain is not cancer. they do another scan a different one. I have cancer now he declares I have 12 months - 5 years if I'm lucky. They could have saved me! certainly not your advocate.
