When I called to make the appointment staff was very professional and kind. When I showed up to my appointment, different story. Front Desk staff demeanor was incredibly rude and condescending! When I informed them that I only had an electronic copy of my insurance card Front desk lady started huffing and puffing, visibly in distress. She provided me the email, and spelled out " G-E-N-E-R-A-L" as if it is not common spelling. I emailed it to them as I do with other providers, and as I was waiting in the waiting area she calls me over by gesturing with her hand instead of calling me by name, also very professional. She said "The image is too large", and in case I didn't understand they also took the time to print it out into several sheets of paper, which she then preceded to show me one by one. And when I told them that I didn't have a copy of the back side, she about almost lost it!
Case in point, I am not sure what the deal was and had I not been there out of medical necessity I would have walked away in a heart beat, but I have been to many other medical providers and until yesterday never had I been treated with such disrespect. It is the first impression you make of your practice and it was not a good one. I would advice that you give your Front Staff some additional breaks so they don't become so overwhelmed by small simple tasks. Or perhaps some additional training with computer software so they know how to make a large image into a smaller one.
Audiologist and Dr. Deitch were great, so it's a shame that front desk behaved like so.
