My trip was wasted. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive and I was hoping they would have already did the pathology report. This would let me know for sure if I have cancer and need surgery. But they were unable to have already checked the specimen and I had already waited a week and a half before going to Emory. Now, I have to wait two more weeks to know for sure about cancer and having surgery. |

This provider established from the onset she was not interested in treating me. She insinuate I was wasting her time. I was doing a follow-up per my GP doctor recommendation. She had not looked at my file from my previous appointment. If she had no interest in treating me they could have relayed that information the week before when a nurse from her office called to ask why I was coming to see this doctor. I have many doctors within the emory system and I can honestly say I have never been treated this was. I'm sure she charged me for the poor service that was delivered. Why should I have paid for this lack of service when it could have been avoided. I believe we should all do our jobs or change careers. |
