1 /5 Brandon Behringer: STAY FAR AWAY FROM THIS Dr. OFFICE:
I applied for my family of 6 over 60 days back. We finally got a call to schedule my young daughter for her first visit. When I called to schedule this appointment I asked about the application status of the rest of my family. I was told their applications had not been approved yet. I told the receptionist I didn’t want to make an appointment for my daughter if the rest of my family wasn’t accepted as patients. She agreed and transferred me to another staff member where I left a message. I left several messages following this. Frustrated, I called back only to be told I had missed my daughter’s scheduled appointment (the appointment we never made) and that my daughter could no longer be a patient. The receptionist seemed frustrated with their own process and apologized informing me that the staff member I was originally transferred to was no longer employed there and no one got my messages. I was then instructed to write a letter to the doctor apologizing and explaining why the appointment was missed, despite this being their error and an extreme failure in communication on their part. I asked to speak with a manager and I was transferred to Becky “ the Office Manager and left several messages before she finally returned my call. She was unhelpful and depute their mistake and poor commutation, the burden of proof for the missed appointment, was on me. To top it off, my youngest son’s application was still not approved after 60 days???
I know there out there, but I’m not sure how any business can to survive such poor customer service. I believe some doctors offices, like this one, just don’t care because they know the number of offices taking on new patients is limited, therefore they can provide terrible service and still remain in business. If their front office customer service is this bad I can only imagine the poor care patients received from the doctors.
I pulled my applications and went else where. I should have heeded the poor reviews. Any business that has a 2.6-Star review has serious issues. I’m willing to overlook this from time to time but I will not sacrifice my families care and health for such a poorly rated office, and I can confirm from my experience that the 1-star reviews are accurate. It seems they are unwilling to address them and provide a better service. Good luck!
