I've been a regular here since April 2016. I had brain surgery in Sept, and had to use this office before and after. They seemed wonderful the first two visits: pleasant at the front desk, pleasant during the exam, pleasant when I spoke to them on the phone.
I would say the last 4 visits I've had with them, and the last time I spoke to them on the phone I could not believe the poor attitude from at least one person. I was there last in February, got there right when they opened went to sign in (I was the only one in the waiting room) and the lady said, "don't bother signing in I can see you're here." So I sat down at her desk and she said, "I'll call you when I am ready for you." So when she did call me up she was very robotic and rude. When I had to call back a couple weeks later, she was the same lady to answer the phone; still rude.
So today, I go for an urgent X-ray of my hip right from the doctor's office. The sign on the door says off for lunch from 12:00-12:30. It was 12:35 but no one was at the desk. After 5 minutes and I do not hear anyone back there, I went back to look for someone.
There was just one lady back in the office eating her Wendy's take out, not a lady I recognize from all my visits before. With her mouth full, she says, "Excuse me I am on break." I replied, "Well, the sign says lunch ended at 12:30 and it's now 12:40." She told me to go wait in the waiting room because she was eating her lunch. At 12:45 she comes out with her mouth full and starts slamming things around. She calls me up to the desk, I handed her my documents. She was also was robotic, but maybe she's ticked at me because I cut her lunch short. I was in for a hip X-ray, so I stood up to stretch my hip, and she said, "Ma'am please have a seat, we are not finished." I replied, "I have a sore hip, it hurts to stay in any one position for long."
So then... she apologized for making me wait, and it's not fair that she does not get a long enough lunch break. I replied, "I only have a babysitter until 1:30. If I am late she will then be mad at me, and I need to get this X-ray done so the doctors that keep their appointments with me and I with them, can help me feel better. We all have to keep schedules." She replied, "Well....I have to eat my lunch!" I asked her, "Where is everyone else, there are usually more people around here." She said, "This place won't hire enough people."
So, regardless how convenient it is for me to stop in here, with this attitude I'd rather haul myself to RIA in Lansdowne. read more
