Eight hours later and I'm still angry, but I will be more diplomatic. \n\nI chose this office because it was recommended to me and I have not had a regular GP for some time. When I arrived there wasn't anyone at reception so I signed in and took a seat. After 15 mins of waiting I went looking for a receptionist since I assumed there would be a lot of paperwork for my first visit. The receptionists were polite enough, but seemed more interested in chit chat than in getting me to my appointment.\n\nA staff member called my name and took me back of house where he weighed me and showed me to an exam room. I made it clear that I hadn't had a physical in a very long time and also had a specific health concern so I thought there would be a thorough examination. Instead he told me they were short staffed and I would have to reschedule several tests. No blood work or balance tests or anything actually important was done- he took my blood pressure and tested circulation.\n\nThe PA came in next and rushed through a list of questions. The time spent on my health concern was brief and I was left with a sense that she really didn't care. My very brief physical was concluded with a sales pitch for a \"concierge\" health care package... $2000 a year to teach me how to cook.\n\nSo I now know as much about my health as I did before my visit to this doctor's office and am even more confused as to how I will take care of my one health concern. I understand our doctors and healthcare providers can be stretched thin, but the basic care and courtesy should not be an extravagant request. I gave two stars more than they deserve because the office was recommended by my sister so I assume she had a better experience than mine."^^ . "0"^^ . "1"^^ . . .
