Don't make your patience wait 2 1/2 hours but naked in the freezing cold and then that might work…read more No consideration for a patient's needs or care..

I had a couple surgeries two weeks ago. One of those surgeries was a complete hysterectomy and I…read morewas supposed to have my followup appointment today. Finally after waiting for 2 1/2 hours undressed and under a tissue paper and freezing to death I decided that my time was more valuable than that. I did however stop to tell the office manager that I was leaving and not to bill my insurance and that I would not be back. I explained to her that I cannot believe that any office would truly treat people in such a way that they waited for over two hours without anyone coming to tell them that the doctor was delayed or would they like to reschedule or to check on them in anyway whatsoever. She seemed dumbfounded that I would even consider not staying for the doctor. While I was waiting to talk to her I heard another lady there say that one time she waited in that doctors office for six hours. While this happened at the Chattanooga's Program for Women's Oncology office (Who for many reasons I would NEVER recommend), I am appalled that an office has so little concern for busy people and their lives. I hope the next time this doctor makes a dinner reservation or any appointment really he gets a chance to see if he wants to wait around for two hours while no one tells him anything and by the way I hope they make him wait naked. Doctors need to understand that patients are people with lives and businesses and children and responsibilities and that they should make their office managers do their job!
