he gave me a reasonably good trim-the -toenails experience about 9 weeks ago, but today, when I went to see him for a second appointment, we had a blowup.
here's what happened: my car was being repaired so I had to walk and jog to his office from below the Coolidge Corner area. btw, it was a hot humid day, temp.in the high 80's. 'my appointment was for 4:15, and I arrived, mildly puffing (I'm 86), at 4:20.
herr doctor's first words were, you're late. I said, sorry, but I had to come by foot my car-- he didn't let me finish; he said, now I have to push my appointments up because you were not on time!
this was a new one to me; with other medical appointments, there is a certain leniency on this topic: there's traffic, parking space problems, etc., also, the doctor may have had an extra-long prior appointment,.. the point being, that if a patient, or doctor, is say, ten minutes late, noone thinks it's a big deal as it's not unusual. except with this guy.
i reacted, said I'm sorry again, but it wasn't enough for him. he said, I don't want you as a patient, i want you to leave. what? are you serious? yes, leave now!
now i was angry. as I left, I turned to this pompous ass and said, if I were younger I'd punch you in the face, f--- you!, and left.
altogether, a rotten experience.
if one is looking for a podiatrist, or any medical professional, I suggest one remember to look for a human being ,not a robot or a pompous ass. read more
