I just spent a completely worthless three hours at a endodontist's office. I was referred to Dr. Heggin by my dentist when he discovered the root of one of my teeth was absessed. Originally, my appointment was for 11:30am. On Friday, the receptionist called to move it to 9:30am. This morning, the doctor was apparently running behind schedule so they moved the appointment again to 10am. I show up. I fill out my paperwork. I don't actually see the doctor until - the time of the original appointment!!!! And after all of the, this endodontist can't help me and refers me to an oral surgeon. And then, after only 5 minutes actually in the presence of Dr. Heggin, they wanted to charge me $65 !!!!!. Thankfully, there was a reasonable, rational, and responsible person at the front desk who immediately waived the fee. I'm still pissed though. I have a ton of work to complete by Friday - I have a feeling this is going to be another 55 hour work week :-(
Posted by jfer at March 11, 2002 1:09 PMI am sorry to hear about your morning. That is very exasperating to wait in a doctor's office for so long, especially when you then see him for only 5 minutes. Glad you balked at paying for that.
