This will be the last time!

I am officially changing my doctor! I can not stand Dr. Basa! If you are in the Barstow area, I highly discourage you from going to her!

I called them 2 weeks ago and made an appointment. One of the girls made it for September 1st at 2:00pm. I knew this was a holiday but I figured that they must be open anyways. I even asked her "That's a Monday, right?" to verify, and she said "Yes". So I show up there 10 minutes early yesterday and guess what! They're closed. I was soooo mad! If someone made a mistake and made the appointment for the wrong day, then they should have had the courtesy to call me and reschedule. I can't wait until they open, to give them a call.

I'm glad to say that this will be my last time going there, and I am only doing it to get permission to return to work. After that, I have to notify my insurance that I want to change doctor's. I am sooooo fed up with this place. I know that I've complained about it numberous times, but this was the last straw. Whenever I go in there, the doctor herself never remembers me (even if I saw her 4 days earlier). I have to ask for them to update my prescriptions, which always takes them weeks because they never call them in (turns out they don't hand you over one of those doctor's prescriptions anymore). I have to specifically ask them to relook at something on my chart, and she never hears what I say (and asks me something right after I said it) because she was too busy not paying attention.

I thought I was being too hard on her, but damnit, my surgeon who lives almost 2 hours away remembers me every single time I go in to see him (months inbetween). He knows exactly where I live, what he's done to me, and what he needs to do...he's prepared. Now he may read through the charts the night before...but I always feel like I have a personal relationship with him. And he must see HUNDREDS of WOMEN inbetween the times that I see him. HE WORKS OUT OF TWO HOSPITALS!!!!! But he even knows me by name when he sees me in his lobby. Granted I'm sure Dr. Basa sees a lot more patients in a day than he does, but her and her office assitants are so freakin scatter-brained, I'm shocked they are still in business.

Just take deep breathes and relax........
