I give 1 star for Dr.Moody at their Remount Road Office and a few of the staff. Dr. Moody was…read moreengaged and professional.
Can't say that about Dee, Lena or the women at the counter. They exude contempt. Don't expect Customer Service. It's obvious some have an immediate dislike for you based on your ethnicity.
Dee was my first encounter with the Office staff and she was extremely rude and belligerent. I kind of ignored it thinking maybe she was just having a bad day but after dealing with this group of people for two long weeks, her rude and unprofessional behaviour is the norm and is rampant in this office.
I needed a referral and after 2 weeks of calls and feeling I was being ignored I still didn't have it. My messages were not passed on. The gatekeepers were so rude and condescending.
I left a message asking Dr. Moody to please call me but her assistance called me and gave me conflicting information. So you can't get past the gatekeepers to speak to your doctor.
The last one I spoke to said it would be best if I came and picked it up. I was told it was ready. So I drove through school traffic stood at the counter for a good 10 minutes not being acknowledged. But a woman who came in after me was acknowledged and told that they would be with her in just a minute. There's that treatment based on your skin tone again.
A woman came to the counter and offered to help me. I told her I was there to pick up a referral. She looked through a little file on the desk and then disappeared into the back. When she came back, she said that The referral was not ready, that Dr. Moody had JUST begun to work on it.
So the people I spoke to over the past 2 weeks who gave reasons for it not being sent to the specialist office were they didn't have a fax number, Dr.Moody was working on it and my insurance didn't cover it. Even though my insurance company had already contacted the Office asking for the referral, were not true either? More conflicting information.
She went onto admonish me that they would never tell a patient to come and pick up a referral.
I assured her that I had been told it was ready and to come pick it up. She shook her head at me with an angry face and basically told me I was a liar. That she didn't know who I spoke too but none of the staff would have told me to come pick it up.
I am including a copy of a voicemail left my Lena on March 19,2026 at 11:18 am. that includes the option to come pick it up.
Yes, Miss Flash, this is Lena from the referral department. Um, just following up with you on the acupuncture referral that you had requested. Dr. Moody did put in a referral, but um, she did say that, you know, the, um, you would have to follow up with the place as far as your insurance. I looked up the place uh from the information you provided and they do not give me a fax number. I called and had to leave a voice message to um ask a request for the fax number if there is one. So I was just gonna call and let you know that you may want to come by the office and get them to print up this referral and take it to the acupuncture place. If you want, um, uh, speedier service, um, with getting the referral started because we will close this on our end with it not being a, uh, referral that we do, um, so I think Dr. Moody's just putting this in because you need it for your insurance. So uh give me a call back if you have any questions um I'm option 3 on the referral line on the main office number. Thank you bye
As you see Lena offered my coming to pick it up and it eas ready When I said she had the woman shook her head at me and said it didn't happen.
She never apologised for the misunderstanding and wasting my time just so rude so unprofessional
Just repeatedly given wrong information.
You definitely have the feeling that your healthcare is being held hostage by hostile agents when dealing with this group. Good thing the referral wasn't for a life saving treatment eh?
Do not trust them with your health care. The Hippocratic Oath they swore must have had an expiration date because "do no harm" is not in their vocabulary.
More people die from mistakes made by the medical community than by gun violence every year and I see one place where it could definitely happen. By mistake or by design.
For your own safety, peace of mind, self-respect and being treated with dignity and kindness go somewhere else.
