I have been to Pedes OC twice trying to see Joe Hewitt. The first time I had to wait for him for 40+ min and I got fed up so they brought in Dr. Goldstein.
Then they did an ultrasound and I did a MRI and when I came in, so they could give me the results, I had to wait for Joe Hewitt almost an hour and they couldn't have cared less.
I really get irritated when people think that their time is more important than mine or medical offices that just EXPECT patients to wait an hour to see a doctor because the office and the doctor don't have evolved time-management skills.
This is very backward and adds unnecessary stress to my day on a Friday when I have so many appointments scheduled.
Pedes OC does not respect my time. I work Monday-Thursday and I can schedule all my appointments on a Friday. When I came in here today, I was out at 6:30am and didn't even have breakfast. I was running around non stop and was very upset and hungry by the time I got here at 1pm.
A simple consultation should not take 50 min just to talk to the patient. I have important things that I want to do on my day off and it's INFURIATING when a doctor thinks that I have nothing to do and nowhere to be on a Friday.
After waiting ONE HOUR for Joe Hewitt, I'm told he won't see me and that I need to come back to see Dr. Goldstein. They made me wait ONE HOUR just to tell me this. Joe didn't even have the common courtesy, consideration nor professionalism to come and say this to me himself. Joe needs to go back to school and learn better time management skills and common courtesy.
It's a real shame that after a MD from UCSF and a MBA from USC, that Joe Hewitt STILL doesn't know how to manage his time with patients so that I won't be sitting in the patient room for an hour.
ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING! read more
