I am trying to cancel/switch to a new date my appointment for July 11th because that is the same date as my GI doctor appointment and I am not missing that GI appointment, I need it too badly. However, I also need to get my pain medications refilled this week. I have been calling my pain doctor's office since last Wednesday when I found out that the appointments were on the same day. They are arguing with me.
The problem is that the doctor scheduled a procedure that I never actually agreed with him scheduling for me. I tried to object to them scheduling it last month but he had already left the office by the time I got up to the window to check out and make the appointment for July and they said that they couldnt change it. This place is strange. Now they wont schedule me just to see a doctor for pain medications or cancel my appointment without me talking to a nurse but I cant get through to the nurse even though I have left my name and number 4 times and their voicemail says they will return it within 24 hours, they dont. They also say I will have to pay a $100 fee for not doing the procedure but I have given them a whole week to schedule someone else in my slot so I dont think that is fair. AND 3 months ago they were supposed to do a laser procedure on my knees and I was there for 6 hours and the doctor never did the procedure even though I was there all day. He left early that day and he certainly didnt pay me because he cancelled on me!
Now I know they cannot just put me out without giving me my medications. If they are going to keep playing these games though I may just have to find someone new who wont. I dont like being told that I cant question the doctor when I just walk out from the exam room if there is something on the form that I dont agree with. That should have been taken care of that day.
