I had an appointment on Tuesday that I made two months ago (was the soonest available). I left an hour before, because it's a new office (I've been a patient for six years) and I live in another county, so I gave myself plenty of time. I got there 30 minutes early.
At 25 minutes PAST my appointment time, I asked how much longer it would be, and was told AN HOUR!!!! When I asked how it was even remotely possible to be that far behind before lunch, she just said "It happens" with a shrug. I reminded her that I had made the appointment TWO MONTHS AGO and that I held up my end by being EARLY. She said I could go get some lunch and come back, but there was no guarantee on the time.
If I waited another hour, then however long they took after I got back, I wouldn't be home in time to pick up my son from school. So I said, I need a new prescription AND my exam, and I don't have another two months to wait for it, and she tells me it WOULD take that long to get in again. Not even that she'd try to get me in sooner or anything. And it REALLY pissed me off because I've been a patient there for six years and these are the people that delivered my kids!!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So I just called my family doctor and asked if they recommended anyone and they gave me a name AND he takes my insurance, so apparently I am meant to go there. AND they got me an appointment for 3 weeks, not TWO MONTHS. I like them already.
