    I would like to start by saying that I & family have been a patient at Aquidneck Medical Center for…read morenearly 20 years. In that time I have recieved good medical care. I came to love my doctor, he savedmy life, literally, twice through his knowledge & keen observation. Recently my doctor dropped me, due to several failures on my part to make appointments. I can't offer solid reasons why I missed appointments, in alll cases, but as a single retired man, recently divorced, I found it difficult to make ends meet & at 55 its not easy to get a new job. Yea, its not easy. So during the past couple years yes my job (new) was priority over my appointments . I did call & reschedule, but those were never pleasent conversations. My last appointment my doctor (H.S.) treated me with distain, crudness, and lack of any compassion. Like he didn't know me. Next, I'm dropped as a patient. Yes, I didn't do my blood work, didn't know iI had an outstanding bill at blood work ? They wouldn't do it. Missed my appointment, yes, new job as manager of local small retail shop, couldn't leave, I'm manager/employee, 5 people. The missed appointments are billed & paid by BC/BS medical insurer. Now I can't find a suitable doctor. Who knows anything about my history. I have an injury, caused by prescribed medication (H.S,.) THAT HAS DEBILITATED ME, severe pain, and has moved me to near incapacitation. I have not taken medication for nearly two years for identified maladies, because I have no doctor. A few weeks ago I spoke with another retired friend, with out this being discussed, he told me voluntarly, exactly the same attitue and drop as patient story (H.S.). I, in disbelief, that a doctor would or could have this capability, capacity, compassion-less rude attitude. Does he know what trauma it is to lose a 25 patient/doctor relationship? NO BECAUSE HE HAS THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS, BUT WE PATIENTS HAVE ONE ONE DOCTOR! That I trusted his decisions, his life altering decisions as a doctor, that he was trusted with my life? Obviously he don't care, Aquidneck Medical Associate s don't care, & still have been unable to plead my position with either. It AMA is flushing old patients out for the new, with no reguard for the consequences on the patient. 25 years gone, no reprieve no discussion. I feel this is an a grevious violatiin of a care givers role. I my argument AMA said, and I quote "...missing appointments effects the Dr. schedule and income..." The doctor is paid a missed apointment fee. Yes, it may perdebate his schedule, but he is paid by me, my life survival day to day, trumps his schedule. I cannot give AMA, a good rateing for customer service or compassion, but all the doctors I have delt with, many there, are knowledgable & professionals. Consider this flaw if you think of being a long term patient of AMA. Its not just Dr. (H.S.) you dropped by the whole AMA! The Hippocratic Oath states the doctor is "for the convenience and advantage of PATIENT". Not the doctors schedule or income. The oath is lost & meaningless in this "doctor by digital" era. Good luck, with your care.

    I waited over an hour to see my doctor just for a nurse to come out and say she wouldn't be able to…read moresee me today. I tried to reschedule and they scheduled me three months out. Would not recommend
