Service: Is it me or is most companies starting to not care about their customers…read more
I haven't seen Rotech to even check on the O2 concentrator they dropped off a year ago. The unit runs so hot it heats up my 2 bedroom trailer AND I can't run the AC unit to cool down the area at the same time as running the O2 unit. It blows a main in the house. It really sucks when it's 90 degrees. The unit has even set fire to the outlet it's plugged into! I've had the unit for a year now and it sounds terrible.
I called once to ask for more nasal cannulas and got yelled at, they sent me 6 for the year! I was going to order more...3.99 a piece. So, I ordered them from Temu for .89 cents a piece! It's terrible that I have to buy my own when my insurance covers it. Right now, I'm worrying about infections in my nose from using the same cannulas for over a month.
Plus, I've had more trouble with respiratory infections since using their machine. Their website proclaims to "help with O2 therapy. My doctor called to see about setting up a new *cause it's been quite awhile* overnight study to check my levels, they either can't or won't do it. Though their website saids it does.
I moved and my last carrier (Lincare) does not service this area, or I'd go back with them. Lincare was able to set up overnight O2 measurements, they set me up with hoses and cannulas, they even set me up with a nebulizer plus equipment. This company does not do anything for their patients. I am so disappointed. Now, I'm going to have to buy my own nebulizer plus equipement.
Save yourself the trouble and headache of dealing with them. Go with someone else for your supplies or help.
PS. Dear Katherine W. (See responses below) I did talk to customer service "AND GOT YELLED AT". Reread what I wrote. At 65, I am in no hurry to call and get yelled at again. This is NOT AI. I am NOT going to go the rounds, yet again with your customer service. I told them about the concentrator...they told me: "We check the units once a year and will be out when it's time." When I asked about getting more cannulas, She said she'd send them this time, but I can order them myself at the website. What she didn't tell me was, yes, I can order them myself but it would cost me 3.99 a piece!. YOU talk to your customer service...Like I said...I'm in my 60s and have no inclination to be yell at again. Other than being stuck with the concentrator because I can't afford to buy my own, I'm waiting for your unit to set set something on fire, I'm stuck with buying my own hoses, nebulizer plus that equipment, and whatever else I need. So NO, I don't recommend your company. NO, I do not recommend dealing with what you call customer service. Maybe it's just the people in this area, I wouldn't know because I wasn't given an option to get with another Rotech dealer. But your people that I have had dealings with - was/is not impressive. I'm not new to O2, I've been on it for over 20 years, and have NOT had a problem until you guys.
