Appointment Cancelled 3 times in a Row
After the 3rd appointment for my daughter being cancelled it gets very annoying. I am not sure if I should find a different health care provider for her. Its down right annoying to deal with this as a parent. I realize the excuses may be real, but its very annoying when you show up for an appointment and they don’t have the decency to even call to tell you the health care provider is not going to be in for the day. I am just in a ranting mood because Its hard enough to make it to an appointment as I only have so much energy for the day. Its a big energy waster and chances are they won’t reschedule the appointment for another 2 weeks. This is plain old crazy. How many times is too many times to cancel an appointment for one person? I guess that’s the question. I know life is life , but three times canceling is plain old crazy…..

HI
So sorry that you are having to go through this. After working in the medical field for over 20 years I can tell you there is no excuse for what they have been doing! Only a real emergency should make them not be able to call and reschedule your daughter’s appointment before you waste your time and gas going there. I would insist on talking to the office manager and voice your complaints and ask for an early work in appointment.
That is just nuts! I swear health care is going down the tubes these days! Thanks for stopping by my blog the other day when I was so down it meant a lot to me!
I wanted to say I am better and wanted to stop by and say hi back!

I would politely remind them, that if you did not give 24 hrs notice to cancel, your insurance would be charged anyway, and the Dr could drop you as a patient. Their time, and effort, is no better than yours.
