I've been coming here for 15 years and have always had a great experience, which is why I'm so…read moredisappointed by the recent changes. The customer service was great, and in the past they were even kind enough to provide me, upon request, with a CD containing all of my imaging, including DEXA scans, mammograms, etc. I had always been very satisfied with the service.
Last week, I called at least 10 times and spent hours on hold, listening to automated messages and elevator music. I was so frustrated and exhausted that I was reduced to tears. I eventually had to drive there in person just to make an appointment.
What was especially frustrating was that when I arrived, there was no line and the receptionists appeared to have very little to do. I asked why nobody was answering the phones and was told that calls are now handled by a call center in Costa Mesa, but what is the point of a call center if patients can't get anyone to answer? Today, I had the same problem when trying to obtain my results and once again had to drive there.
I'm tired of AI, robots, and endless phone menus. Patients need to be able to speak to a real person. Please, management, reconsider this system, please make it possible for patients to reach an actual person when they call. If the local staff are busy, then calls can be transferred to the call center-- The only reason I'm giving 3 stars is because of my many years of excellent experiences here.
