To say I'm upset would be an understatement. Honestly, we are new to the area & Dr Stoddard was recommended. I tried for 2 weeks to get an appointment. Each time I called the office I was put on hold & told they needed my records & I could have them faxed. I was also told each time I called that Dr Stoddard had to approve me as a patient after he got my records. I contacted my doctor & called Stoddard's office back who had no record of my call. I called my doctors office again in California & asked that they call or fax Dr Stoddard's office the information they needed. I told my Dr in California I had to be approved to see this doctor. I was jumping thru hoops to try & see a doctor? I was even asked if I was sure I needed to see an internal medicine Doctor. Really? My doctors office in California had never heard of such a thing, nor did my insurance. This unfortunately set the scene & upset me, so I requested my records from Dr Stoddard's staff as it is not in my best interest to be seen in this office. Exactly what does he have to approve? I will go back to my doctor in California while trying to make funeral arrangements & then try and find an internal medicine Doctor In Idaho to assume my care. What a totally unnecessary waste of time & energy. read more
