1 /5 Sue Stewart: I have been to this clinic before...several years ago and everything went just fine. My latest visit and ALL other forms of communication have been worse than ANYTHING I have EVER encountered in my long lifetime.
It took a month after calling to get an appointment.
The appointment itself was wonderful. The Physician Assistant was actually the best "doctor" I think I have had a visit with however....
Someone called me on the 2 week appointed time for my pathology report.
The message said to call Amy so...I did. This was on Friday, March 14, 2025. Her message said it could be 24 hours before she could return the call. No problem, it was a weekend. I did NOT receive a call on Monday. Most of Tuesday passed without a call so I called again.
The report I got was not what I had hoped for but...
Her explanation of treatment options was like pick one of the two. I dont have a clue which would be better or which had a better outcome or cost or if my insurance would cover either of the options. USUALLY...a doctor would explain things but...not in this case. I dont have a clue as to what to even ask Medicare and my insurance company what would be covered.
Then I said wed go for another surgical option instead of the BrachyTherapy which Im sure Medicare wouldnt cover, especially now in the uncertainty of Medicare.
The soonest appointment I could get is THREE MONTHS away. I now have the dreaded C word...CANCER but I have to wait three months??? Will I still even be alive in 3 months, will this be worse??? I have no idea since the young lady is NOT a physician.
This is MY ONE AND ONLY LIFE...shouldnt it be valued more than "pick one"?
If your patients are your business, I think better treatment of that patient should be your top priority. I feel like Im at the bottom of the list of things to deal with.
