I came here following the onset of a specific health condition that apparently would require physical therapy. While skeptical, I went through with it as I trusted the doctor who referred me & I wanted to give myself the best possible chance at making a full recovery. The first session was more of an "interview" format which did not include ANY real/helpful process that would allow me to begin the road to recovery. I would ultimately spend $40 dollars for that visit (& ANY visit for that matter, since a "physical therapist" is considered a "specialist" on my plan & "specialist" visits are $40 dollars per visit). Next session, I did some "exercises" that yielded absolutely no relief/results, but I decided to stay the course, trust the process & remain patient. Again, I came out of pocket $40 dollars for THAT visit. Then I came back for the third (& what I now consider to be the FINAL) session, & I experienced the same thing; more "exercises" that yielded no results, & I ate the $40 dollars once again. It was at the end of this "third" session when things finally took a turn for the worst.
At the end of that session, the doctor & I sat (FACE TO FACE) & scheduled my next appointment. MIND YOU; This was done before I left the building, & I placed this next appointment on my personal AND work calendars in real-time, AS WE SCHEDULED IT. Two days prior to that SCHEDULED appointment, Spooner sends a "reminder" text about my next appointment, but the date in the text was one day PRIOR TO the date we had scheduled, AND the time was wrong. Work was extremely busy that week, so I didn't see the text on the day it was sent; I instead saw the text the day PRIOR TO my scheduled appointment, but again the date displayed in the "reminder" text was showing as the day BEFORE the date we actually scheduled (which means that I was about to miss the "newly-rescheduled" appointment [& possibly be subjected to a $20 dollar "no-show" charge] unless I skipped work).
On that morning (while I was still asleep), someone from Spooner called & left a voicemail to advise that I had an appointment scheduled for that day (which, again, was NOT the correct date that we had scheduled at the end of my last visit). I woke up a few hours after the time this voicemail was left, & once I was able to review it, I called in to advise that the scheduled date/time for my next appointment had somehow changed without my knowledge/approval (which should NOT have happened), & I attempted to reschedule it during that call only to receive nothing but pushback. The phone rep was unwilling to reschedule for the date/time we had originally scheduled (which was supposed to be that very next day), & she INSISTED that the doctor only had appointment times for 7:30 in the morning (no sooner than a week or so later). Rescheduling for a week or so later actually would have worked better in my case, as I was starting to feel pressure to schedule several visits per month (which would become a financial burden at $40 dollars per visit), but the TIME would have been a problem, & the phone rep offered no valid explanation as to how my doctor (who I had been seeing at/around 10AM during ALL THREE PRIOR VISITS) suddenly would only be available to see me at 7:30 in the freaking morning. After continuing to receive pushback, I advised that it looks like this wasn't going to work right now, & I advised that I'd just call back at a different time to try this again.
Following the call, a week or so went by & I received another voicemail from Spooner (possibly the same rep) advising that they "haven't seen me in a while" & asking when I'd be rescheduling my next appointment. I attempted to call back & try this once again, only to reach their automated voicemail system (right in the middle of the day/during business hours). Their VM system (should you ever have the misfortune of dealing with it) advises the caller to push 8 to wait for a live person, only to continuously repeat itself after doing so (& then if you don't continue pushing 8 over & over again, it hangs up on you). After being hung up on by the system twice in a row, I finally selected the option to just leave a voice message, & I left a message advising them of the issue with their voicemail system. In that same message, I also stated that I was attempting to re-schedule my appointment hopefully at a time of day that worked better for ME (aka- the paying customer/client/etc.). In the end, my call was never returned, I finally realized that sometimes God puts red flags RIGHT IN FRONT OF US (for our own protection/well-being), at this point I'm realizing that I'm obviously not supposed to continue dealing with this place, & I have decided that its best for me to just move on rather than continue dealing with this level of unprofessionalism/incompetence. Good luck to all who have the patience to deal with what I dealt with, but my advice would be to look elsewhere unless you like having your time/gas/money wasted. read more
