I am MORE than happy to leave this review. I've been a patient of "st Jude" for years now... in the past any time my doctor would order blood work for me I'd take the lab slip and walk right down stairs to the labs and get it done. Boom! Done! NOW! It's appointment only?? Why? Blood work doesn't take that long. They're whole reasoning is to monitor the "capacity" of the area but it's the same capacity as the doctors office upstairs and all around.? You get in and you get out. Why would you need to come back? Anyways. My doctor ordered me STAT blood work to be done for my HEART problems. So I went downstairs and checked in on the iPad kiosk which is also LAME. Like why do I have to scan my driver's license and insurance card? Isn't all that already on file ?? Anyways I check in and sit down. IMMEDIATELY the middle aged Mexican lady with glasses sitting at the desk against the wall that says Labcorp calls me over and rudely tells me that the doctor didn't put the right codes for "STAT" order.... Ok? What do you mean? It says stat, I just saw him upstairs. What's the problem?? And how is that my fault? So she makes me go back upstairs and ask for a new completely NEW order form. Mind you, my doctor is caring for OTHER patients now, he's busy, he's doing his job. And so I inform the receptionist and she helps me right away and talks to the nurse and doctor... it took awhile to get another paper but it's ok. I just want to get my bloodwork done. The nurse that hands me the new form seems so confused as to why they'd send me back for a different order form. She said even the doc wasn't aware and confused. So I say thank you and go back downstairs... I give her the NEW order form and sit down. I've been here for 30 mins now going back and fourth trying to get a freakin piece of paper. The lady calls me BACK up! I'm like what's the problem now?? She goes "idk about the lipid panel. I just don't know" what? Ok? What don't you know lady!!? She said they fixed it but the lipid panel isn't under "STAT" or so she doesn't know.! I said ok fine whatever can you do the other stuff then and I can do the others another time? She says no you need to make an appointment if it's not Stat... I said "it says STAT RIGHT THERE! " And she had the audacity to say "they can put StAt on anything" at this point she just hates her job and doesn't want to do shit. She had attitude from the start! So I said you act like I WANT to do this. This isn't fun for me! Why cant you just draw me up?? I even asked her to call upstairs and talk to the nurse and she wouldn't.. lazy! She didn't want to do ANYTHING. So I said fine and left. You just lost a patient, I'm SO DONE with "providence" they SUCK! Ever since the switch. They went DOWNHILL! The nurses, the experience, the long waits, you can't even get into a doctor without a month out wait. It's so not worth it. Now I know why people just don't come to the doctors. I will be enrolling with Keiser now and seeing how they do. It's just so wild to me, I've been with "st Jude" my whole life. read more
