My dissatisfaction is with corporate structure, not the medical team at my site in Gilbert, Az. The flow of information is baffling when calling to make an appointment. My latest call for contact with my physician was scheduled to be via a video chat. I waited 30 mins or so for the call. When the call came, it was a health asst informing me the doctor would not see me via video chat and I had to come into an office over an hour plus from my house. After a discussion, where I fully own up to my irked vocal tone, I said I would not be coming in for face to face as it was too far. I went to an urgent care after concluding the call. Then, a few days later, I receive notice that I missed my appointment.
No, I did not miss an appointment that:
1. Was scheduled as a video chat
2. Appointment changed by office to in office, after 30+ min delay in contacting me to inform of doctor’s decision
3. In the phone conversation, I explicitly said I would go to Urgent Care.
