I am writing to formally report a concerning experience I had during my recent appointment at…read moreDartmouth Hitchcock Manchester. I initially sought care after being advised by an urgent care provider to follow up with a specialist sooner rather than later. When I first contacted the office to schedule an appointment, I was informed that new patients were not being scheduled until August. I accepted this and ended the call. However, the following morning I received a call from your office asking if I could come in that same day at 11:00 AM. No explanation was provided for the urgency, so I assumed the doctor may have reviewed my imaging and felt it was important for me to be seen promptly. When I arrived, the check-in process was smooth, the wait time was short, and the nurse who brought me back was courteous and professional. Unfortunately, my interaction with Dr. Gould was very disappointing. Upon entering the room, his demeanor felt dismissive and rushed. After briefly examining the lump, he simply stated that it was indeed a lump and then presented two options: he could remove it, or I could leave it alone and monitor it. At no point during the visit was I given an explanation of what the lump might be, what the potential diagnoses could include, whether it was urgent or likely benign, or what risks were associated with either option. When I began asking, "What would you recommend...," before I could finish my question Dr. Gould interrupted me and stated, "I gave you two options, you'll have to decide which one." As a patient who is not medically trained and who was understandably concerned about a mass that had been discovered, I was hoping for guidance, explanation, and an opportunity to ask questions. Instead, the interaction felt dismissive and left me without the information needed to make an informed medical decision. Because of this experience, I left the appointment feeling frustrated, confused, and without answers about a health concern that had already caused significant anxiety. I hope this feedback can be used to improve communication with patients in situations where they are seeking clarity, reassurance, and professional guidance regarding potentially serious health issues.

Expressed my concerns to the front desk who lacked any interest and was dismissive, offering excuses instead of an apology or accountability for a doctor that is known to run behind. Office management should be more proactive and allot larger appointment segments for doctors who frequently run behind or schedule less patients. Office management needs customer service training. Practice should consider informing patients upon arrival of the doctors schedule for transparency and setting expectations for wait time or proactively offer to reschedule if running past a certain time.

But they don't know that, the receptionist never even asked. Her main concern was how we would pay because I didn't have our current insurance information but could get it from my wife later, I just needed my son to be checked out urgently. The receptionist does not care about WHY you're there. After 10 minutes of nothing and a clear message that they don't care, we left for Elliot. Luckily my son got the bug out on the way over because Elliot urgent care was closed. This place is a poor excuse of an urgent care facility.
