Having spent about three months and called maybe 20 offices looking for a endodontist who takes Medicaid for my messed up lower left molar, I ended up with one place that takes it but its online rating isn't... great. However, the complaints were mostly about really long waits in the office and rude, unhelpful front desk/admin people, and I can ( Read more... )

Next verse, same as the first.

When I went to my general practitioner's office Thursday because the front desk people called me for information and told me Monday that if I wanted my cholesterol medication refilled I had to see the doctor, the front desk people told me that I had to give them money due from previous visits.

My neurosurgeon's office that lost my March 2007 MRI films may also have lost the CD they ordered to replace it.

( more MRI-related drama, stranger than fiction )

My neurosurgery office canceled today's appointment as well, due to him needing to do emergency surgery again. It seems that the office called my cell phone at 9 a.m. but for some reason it didn't ring. Since it didn't ring the whole time I had it with me I didn't think I'd need to check for messages, which is why I did a 45-minute commute to his ( Read more... )
