Four years ago I was told I had nothing physically wrong with me. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease a few months ago and was told I had it for years.
I do not like this doctors office. My daughter had an appointment for 2:00. They told us to be there at 1:30. This appointment was confirm 3 times. When we got there, the receptionist said the appointment was for 2:30. She said she would try to get us to the back as soon as possible. It's was nearly 3:00 before we were called. When we got the room they kept us waiting more. The nurse came in a checked her vital signs and her wait. When I asked her how long the doctors would be she said she wasn't sure. At about 4:00 we got tired of waiting so I told the nurse the we were about to leave. She said if we just wait a little longer, the doctor would come in because we were next. He had to see another patient. (One who came in after us, by the way.) So we waited. 30 minutes later, there was still no sign of the doctor. So I told the nurse again that we were leaving. As I was talking to her, the doctor walked passed. She told him that we were leaving so he came right into the room. The reason we were there was for my daughters 4yr. check up. She also had knot or big swollen bump on the back of her ear. The doctor said that it would probably get bigger and that it was normal. It's completely gone now. There is no scar. You can't even tell there was anything there. We finally got to leave at 5:00. That is ridiculous. The ER doesn't make you wait that long.
Recently I called the office again because my daughter was really sick. She had a runny nose, hacky caugh, watery eyes, and a fever of 100 degrees. I called the doctors office around 10:30. I had to leave a message because no one answered the phone. I finally got a call back at 2:30. They only called to asked me what was wrong with her. The same thing I had already left a message about. So then they said they were gonna talk to the doctor to which over the counter meds to give her. At 3:30 they called me back. The doctor had said he thinks that is viral,that there's not a lot of over the counter meds that actually work. He suggested giving her Zyrtec, or some other meds that are for sinis. If its viral, why would they recommend something for sinis. It makes no since. He also said that if she was still sick in a couple of days, then I should take her to the ER. he should told to come to the office so he could see her. The ER is only gonna give the meds that he should have gave her. I even had to leave a message with the office manager about getting a copy of my daughters medical records because was on lunch brake at 2:30. She didn't even call me back until the next day almost at closing time.
I wouldn't tell anyone to go to this doctor. Especially if your going to take your small children. He is not a pediatrician and I don't believe he know how to treat small children.
