I was initially told I would not be able to see my previous provider, even though I had received confirmation by text from the office. When I came in to sign the required release of information forms, the staff member I spoke with was dismissive and rude, even though she already knew I would be out of state for a week. Only after I showed her the message from the office did she go back and confirm with the provider, who agreed to see me after all. Later, when I arrived for my appointment at the new office on Coastal Highway, the same staff member was there. I arrived five minutes late after driving in from out of state, which the office policy allows to be waived once. I completed all paperwork, but she never checked me in. As a result, the provider came out and took another patient instead of me, even though my appointment was scheduled first. This was extremely frustrating and anxiety-provoking -- especially for someone seeking behavioral health care. The dismissive attitude and lack of basic administrative care made the entire experience feel chaotic and unsafe. I left feeling unsettled rather than supported. I strongly believe this office would benefit from trauma-informed customer service training, especially when working with mental health patients. Front-desk staff play a critical role in patient experience, and this one interaction made me decide not to return.

From the owner: Welcome to Primary Care at Atracare Health…read more I love the positive energy here at Atracare. I can't wait for our patients to come in and see for themselves. I am so proud to be joining an innovative, talented team of individuals whose vision and mission is to bring unequaled medical care to our citizens here in Sussex County. Not only is our gorgeous brand-new medical facility modern and fresh, so is our mindset. We aspire to deliver care that is top-quality and comprehensive, and we are dedicated to making it accessible, convenient and easy to navigate for your whole family. I came to Lewes to practice family medicine in 2006 after visiting my parents who had retired here and becoming smitten with the region and the community. My journey prior included an undergraduate engineering degree and medical training at the University of Pennsylvania (now the Perelman) School of Medicine and Thomas Jefferson University Family Medicine residency program, the combination to which I attribute my problem-solving and diagnostic skills. I then spent over 6 years in rural Iowa during which, out of necessity, I acquired a wide range of general medicine skills and practical knowledge. My time there included many hours as the only physician present in the ER or ICU setting. I am so fortunate to have had the training and experience to be your advocate in health...

My partner and I have had annual exams scheduled several months in advance. We each received an…read moreautomated voicemail reminding us of our upcoming visit. BUT, we each have had to call the office back to ask if we need bloodwork prior to the visit. The answer is yes, so we are obviously having to remind them that it is needed ....and that should be part of their call / process. This is the second year in a row that this has happened. Today falls on a Thursday and my appt is next Tuesday. I've left a voicemail once again asking if I need bloodwork. Being that the results of the bloodwork take time and my appt is next Tuesday, it's likely I'll have to cancel my appt on Monday and battle their office for a "24 hour notice cancellation fee." If there's no bloodwork results, there can't be an an exam. I've been happy with Dr. Bahtarian,but I no longer want to interface with this office.
