I had an issue with one of my eyes and Dr. Kim treated me several weeks ago. He was thorough and communicated very good with me. He asked to see me again in about a month so an appointment was made upon my departure. During my time at the facility I felt as if I was a number and not a person and was being herded through along with many others. I was a captured client. (I also now accept this to be a normal part of my medical treatment.) Upon leaving I explained to the appointment person that I could not make an appointment during September through the first of October. A timely date to return to see Dr. Kim could not be accomplished without modifying my schedule by a week which I did. An appointment was scheduled for Sept. 4, 2019. Today I received, on my answering machine, a message which a female voice said this is Taylor from Dr. Kims office "We are going to have to move your appointment to Sept. 18 @ 10:10."...... That was the extent of the message. She did ask me if this was OK nor was a call back number offered and I felt they had no concern for my schedule.
I attempted to call the office back and did in fact communicate to the appointment clerk that I had received a message on my answering machine to the effect that my scheduled appointment had been changed without my input. Without offering or requesting what could she do to help she read off another appointment date which was not satisfactory to me. I questioned further their need to change my original date and the explanation was Dr Kim needed to clear up some appointment time on that date. At this point I am frustrated as she doesn't seem to care about my needs and only Dr. Kims. As I was attempting to ask for other options she stated "I'm going to put you on hold." That was it! Conversation was over! It was a slick way of hanging up on me.
Ive been around a while. At one time I (and others) considered my personal time very valuable. I still feel it is. I have noticed that working people, especially people behind the counter, don't give a hoot about me nor my time. They are after the numbers. I'm just a number and I pay good. I wish these people could take a course in what it is to respect others.
I suppose I will never return to see Dr. Kim now. read more
