Just left there, was going to have Doctor Henson become my children and my primary care doctor.
- I have a headache.
Doctor Henson requires a "meet and greet" appointment before giving physicals. I was not informed of this! I thought I was going to get a physical.
After being placed in an exam room I was told I would need to come back for the exam, that the "Doctor just wants to make sure you are choosing her to treat you."
- That's why I was there!!!!
Despite the aforementioned, upon meeting Doctor Henson I asked if she could treat my children as well. She said she could. I decided I could overlook the "meet and greet," and would bring them to see her.
Before leaving her mandatory social function, I scheduled an appointment for my boys the following week.
On the way home I received a call from the practice. I was informed that the boys would also have a "meet and greet" with the doctor prior to receiving a physical.
I paid a $30 copay to have a meet and greet with a doctor. My insurance was billed by the doctor, though I can't see how they can be billed, it wasn't an exam.
She was going to give me referrals to doctors that take my insurance (Ortho/Gyn). While that is nice, I don't need referrals with my insurance.
What I needed was a physical. This is also what I scheduled the appointment for! My boys 15 and 21 need physicals. Its not a social visit, its medical care.
I canceled the appointment.
Also: Staff are allowed to dress down on Fridays. Medical Assistant was very unfriendly. Her outfit (faded bedazzled jeans and a black t-shirt) showcased her professional mannerism.
The young African American girl at the desk was very pleasant. She was the only one who was.
While I was turned off by my experience, I thought Doctor Henson would be satisfactory in meeting my families medical needs. Her additional request of more "meet and greet" appointments determined otherwise.
A day and $30 wasted.
Did I mention that my head hurts?!
