I had an appointment at CVC in Scottsdale this afternoon. I arrived 25 minutes before my appointment time, registered, sat down and then was called back up to the front desk. The girl gave me a form to fill out and keep until I was called into the exam room. About 15 minutes later the front desk girl called me up again to tell me the doctor was running 1 hour to 1 1/2 hours behind schedule and would a like to wait or re-schedule. You know 1 1/2 hours will stretch to 2 hours. I said no and I re-scheduled. I didn't think to ask why I wasn't called ahead of time to let me know so I wouldn't have wasted a trip. After I got home I rec'd a call from CVC and was asked why I left the office after checking in. I related the story to this person and said I wasn't going to wait that long. She asked if I wanted to re-schedule. I told her to look at my record. She did and said "Oh I see you re-scheduled". Duhhh. I love Dr. Damien but their front office is horrible. I am thinking of finding another cardiologist.
