| Was I wrong.... I had a Dr's appt. today. I was 10 minutes late...I was to be there at 4:40 got there at 4:50. The office closes at 5:00, they locked the door at 4:50 when I got there...I was late because I went to the location where I last went for an appt. since then they had moved and I wasn't aware of this, the phone # was still the same.... they refused to see me and told me to reschedule ...I told two people what had happened and they said they'd find a new Dr.... Was it my fault and suck it up or was that uncalled for???

| You'd think given the fact that they moved that they'd have been a little more understanding. I mean, we're talking 10 minutes here...not an hour. You'd have probably been in the waiting room for more than 10 minutes. |

| I thought the same thing, that it was only 10 min.... I've never sat 10 min. in a waiting room it's at least 30 min....but when I got there I was the only person there and I just think they wanted to leave....I'm not sure now if it's worth looking for a new DR. over or just forget it...

| Didn't they bother to tell you when you made the appt. that they had moved? Or, send out a card to patients and let them know that? Sounds like they just wanted to leave. Was the dr. still there?

| I don't want to add fuel to the fire, but you might want to make sure that you aren't charged for that visit. Sometimes if you miss an appt. without canceling well in advance, they charge you for it.

| That would be the deciding factor for me. If they charged me for it, I would find a new doctor. Personally, I think it was completely uncalled for on their part. During a move, they need to be flexible.

My dentist is the only doctor I go to who keeps his appointments exactly That would really annoy me if they shut the door on me. And I think it was an awful thing to do to you .... I once felt a lump in my breast and called my mammo place to get an emergency appointment (this was in April), they told me they could fit me in in June ... I went over there and got my films and called another place ... when they realized they were wrong, they called and apologized, but it was too late. I never went back and at the new place I met 2 techs from the old place ....

| It could be just the office staff. Did the doctor know that they turned you away?

YT 500 Club Member | Everytime I go to the doctor I spend at least 30 minutes in the exam room after being called back. It really makes me angry that the Dr's time is so much more important than yours, and it was only 10 minutes. Also, the fact that they failed to tell you that they moved seems pretty low. It sounds as though they don't need any more patients.

| My thoughts exactly. I would tell the doctor what happened and ask if that is his/her expectation, especially considering their recent move. If it is, I would let him/her know that I'd be changing to a different office and doctor. The exact same thing happened to me. They waited for me.................
