    I am leaving this review because of a significant communication issue during our visit today. My…read moremother had a 10:30 AM appointment, and after waiting over an hour with no update, I checked with the front desk around 11:15 AM. I explained that she had occupational therapy scheduled afterward and asked if we would be able to make it. We were told we should be fine. My mother was not taken back until approximately 12:14 PM, and we were then informed there had been an unexpected medical/surgical delay. We completely understand that emergencies happen and that patient care comes first. The concern was not the delay itself -- it was that the front desk and waiting patients were not aware of the situation and therefore could not provide updates. Because of the delay, we had to cancel another medical appointment with only about an hour's notice (fortunately, we were able to reschedule later that day). We also observed other patients experiencing long waits, including people who had traveled significant distances for their appointments. The front desk staff were kind and helpful; they simply did not have the information needed to communicate with waiting patients. Better communication during significant delays would greatly improve the patient experience.

    Long story short, Dr. Soya fired my dad as a patient and lied to me over the phone…read more My father has been seeing Dr. Soya for several years. He has always done what Dr. Soya instructed. My dad had confidence in Dr. Soya. He would listen to him as a patient and would explain things well. My dad needed back surgery after many failed outpatient treatments but his surgeon wanted him off of plavix for nine days. Dr. Soyas office would not approve anything longer than five days. So I wrote an email to both the surgeons office and Dr. Soyas office requesting them to communicate with each other and to come up with an appropriate plan on the length of time off of the plavix that would be safe. I was not expecting to hear anything back. The surgery date came and went and had to be canceled. Two weeks later on a Monday, I got a phone call from Dr. Soya on my cell phone. He was very kind and compassionate. He understood my fathers back pain and explained that his own dad was a construction worker. He told me to have my dad make an appointment this coming Thursday or Friday and he would approve him to be off of the plavix for surgery, that my dad would just have to sign a consent acknowledging the risks. Dr. Soya explained that the risks would be extremely low, less than 1%. The next day, Tuesday, my dad called to make an appointment like Dr. Soya told him to. He was sent to voicemail and left a message. He didn't hear anything back so late Wednesday I called to schedule him an appointment and explained to the office staff what Dr. Soya had told me. The staff was extremely rude and with a raised voice and tone, said Dr. Soya cannot just tell patients when he will see them. I explained that due to the surgery date passing, any day in the next few weeks would work for an appointment. I was sent to voicemail and I explained on the message what Dr. Soya had told me. Friday, we never heard anything back. So I called one last time. I was transferred several times and then spoke to someone. I was told that my dad would have to make an appointment at a different cardiology group that he would not be allowed to see Dr. Soya or any of his partners. I asked why, and was told that a certified letter was on the way explaining why. Sure enough, the following week my dad received the letter saying that he had been fired as a patient due to inappropriate behavior and unrealistic expectations. My dad and I were never rude and absolutely never had any inappropriate behavior. I am truly saddened by this whole experience. As a healthcare worker I have always loved Dr. Soya and had confidence in him as a provider. But I have never seen this side. I will never recommend anyone I know to go to Amarillo Heart Institute again. After reading many reviews on Google, there are similar stories by other patients.

    Dr. Soya is one of the finest caring doctors I have met in my 85 years. He was very caring and I…read morefelt confident that I was getting the best of care. I believe it was thanks to that care that I am still alive and looking forward to many more years.

If she is not running a fever, the nurse discourage me from bringing her in. Twice I have had to request an appointment against the wishes advice of the nurse. Both times Dr Walsh has examined her an explained that she was a very sick baby. Additionally, the appointments are scheduled early in the morning. I drive 90 miles because my town does not have a pediatrician. That doesn't matter to the office staff. I am expected to be at their office, usually within 2 hours of my call. So, I have learned to get in the car and start driving, then hope that there is an available appointment. Then, when I arrive I always have at least a 30 minute wait after my schedule d appointment. My time is not respected. However, I called in because I was stuck on the 2 lane highway behind slow moving traffic. I explained that I would be late. I was told not to be more than 15 minutes late. I arrived at exactly 15 minutes after my appointment, and my appointment was cancelled. The office staff on the phone was rude and inconsiderate when I called, and were rude and inconsiderate when I arrived. I have tried twice to change pediatricians because of this. Both times I was rejected by the new doctors because they were in the same medical group. Dr Walsh will give you a very good five minutes of time with your sick child, but is it worth it?
