Making an appt is a nightmare! I did the live chat a few days prior and they were to contact me to…read morebook an appointment. After a few days I decided to give live chat another try and the gentleman was unable to really do anything but offer someone to call me. I tried calling and selected 2 from the pre recorded message and it rang out as no one answered and the option of leaving a voice mail was not offered. So in a last ditch effort I decided to try the option on the website to text support. The representative asked all the same questions and offered to have someone call me back. If a company is going to invest in a live chat/text support or electronic scheduling then maybe they should just cancel that and hire a real person to answer the phone to book appointments. Basically I was tied up for an hour asked the same questions over and over and still no appointment. P.S. a real person would have taken my appt within a few minutes.

I am extremely disappointed with how this office--and specifically Dr. Angelina Payne--handled one…read moreof the most frightening medical situations I have ever experienced. On August 31, I received a text from the imaging center with my MRI results. I opened the report and learned, on my own, that a mass had been found near my brain. There had been no call or communication from my physician's office beforehand to prepare me for or explain these findings. I immediately called the office around 4:30 p.m. and was told Dr. Payne had already left for the day, but the nurse could "almost guarantee" I would be the doctor's first phone call the following morning. That call never came. I waited until approximately 9:30 a.m. the next morning before calling the office myself. I was told, "The doctor said it's not cancer. Don't panic," and that I would receive a call within about 30 minutes. Nearly two hours later, I finally heard from Dr. Payne. The way that conversation was handled was incredibly upsetting. At a moment when I was terrified and looking to my physician for guidance, I found Dr. Payne's response to be shockingly lacking in compassion and empathy. I did not feel reassured, cared for, or even acknowledged as a frightened patient. Instead, the interaction made me feel as though my questions and concerns were an inconvenience and, quite frankly, like I did not matter. I was essentially questioned about why I was calling and told that results were not discussed over the phone and that I would need an appointment. This was especially frustrating considering I had already been sent the MRI report electronically and left to read the words describing a brain mass by myself. I understand physicians are busy, but there are moments in healthcare when compassion matters tremendously. Learning you have a brain tumor is one of those moments. Whether a tumor is believed to be benign or malignant does not change how frightening it is to receive that news. Being told, "It's not cancer, don't panic," is not the same as having your physician take a few minutes to explain what was found, what it means, and what happens next. I had already seen Dr. Payne four times--my initial appointment followed by three visits for steroid injections--because I knew something was wrong and trusted her with my care. What has stayed with me most is not simply the diagnosis, but how insignificant I was made to feel during one of the scariest moments of my life. I expected my physician to show some degree of empathy and understanding. Instead, I ended that conversation feeling dismissed and even more upset than when it began. No patient should have to discover a brain tumor through an imaging report, repeatedly chase down their physician for answers, and then be made to feel like an inconvenience for being scared and asking questions. I sincerely hope this practice reviews not only how significant imaging results are communicated to patients, but also the level of compassion shown when delivering life-changing medical information. This experience completely changed my confidence in Dr. Payne and the care I received from this office.
