| - I needed a new Primary Care doctor so I made an appointment to establish a new ongoing relationship with a new doctor. This is the first time I've ever dealt with a medical professional in SC so I wasn't really sure what to expect.
The office was easy to find and it was clean. I arrived the requested thirty minutes prior to my appointment to find an empty waiting room and an empty reception area. I'm confused as it's 1:30pm on a weekday. Then a lady comes out and tells me that they must have forgotten to lock the door because they're currently closed for lunch.?. I tell her my appointment is at 2:00, and I came 30 minutes early as requested, so I'll be in the waiting area whenever they're ready. I don't think that was the result she was after, but I wasn't going to sit in my car for another half hour when I had in fact met their own appointment arrival time requirement.
A few minutes later the receptionist calls my name and starts to give me the new patient forms when I stop her and tell her I've already filled them out, but I have a few questions. I could see the color drain out of her face when she realizes I'm going to ask pointed questions about very specific lines found in their new patient paperwork. Sure enough, she wasn't familiar with their paperwork and couldn't answer my questions. She clearly got flustered and told me that I'd have to speak to their office manager who just left for lunch. I told her that would be fine and we moved forward with my appointment.
The nurse that took me to the room and took my vitals was nice enough, though felt kinda glazed over in dealing with just another patient. Her tone and body language seemed a little on auto pilot to me, but again, I didn't make an appointment because of the nurses, I made an appointment with FMFP to see a specific doctor, so I tried to remain optimistic.
When the doctor came in, it felt like I was Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz walking out of the black and white house out into the colorful Land of Oz... The doctor was quick and on point and asked specific questions about my issue and listened to the answers. The doctor was slightly hurried and curt, but I could tell they're simply a person that gets things done and doesn't spend their time with chatter, so I shifted gears and adjusted my tone to match theirs and we seemed to get along just fine after that. The doctor listened to my issues, gave a quick physical examination then spun into action making me an appointment with an imaging center for the very next morning.
I do feel like I made a good decision in going to FMFP; I liked the doctor and felt like they had a lot of experience and would help get me to a solution. The rest of the FMFP cast left a little to be desired, but nothing completely intolerable.
