*Extremly long RP: Today is def. NOT my day*

Ok for those of you who read throughout the day know that my day began w/ no heat & no hot water, but the good thing is that it was only 7 hours.

Work went well, I raced after work to get to the dentist since the girl on the phone (who confirmed app) (who is new, I'm going to him for 3 years & have a nice repor w/ everyone there, I know everyone else by voice) tells me that if I'm not there 15 minutes before my app, the office will be closed since I am the last appointment of the day, the one before me cancelled.

Ok let me get this straight since I'm coming from the NorthShore & traveling to the southshore during rush hour, and give myself 1 hour to get there, w/o being frantic while I drive. I have to now rush since someone else cancelled and you don't want to have to wait 15 min, for me to get there. In 3 years I never experienced anything like this with this office

I fly out of my office at 5:30 on the dot, telling my boss I will have to do somthing tommorow since I have to get to an appointment.

I get there, the office is filled
I have to wait 15 minutes before I'm taken in.

After the 'new'staff member is beyond rude to me. I excused myself and then asked another person who worked there to ask the doctor if I could speak w/ him. Maybe on another day I would have been tolerante to this, but I was really dissapointed w/ the level of disrespect I recieved.

So this girl, has the audasity (sp?) to come in to the closed door office to get somthing she needed for a client as she obvil. knew I requested to talk to the doctor alone to complain about her treatment. I'm astonished w/ the disrespect I rec'd, where my doctor had me complain to him about her, while she was in the room, , then he apoligized, and said he would speak to her. Then when I brought up that she came in to his closed door office, and I didn't like it. I requested to change to his other office (which was opened after I started treatment , & is closer to my home) and he denied me, b/c all my files were in that office.

What can I do from here? How can I as a consumer take action w/o cuting my nose to spite my face?

I wouldn't continue to shop if I was disrespected by a sales assoc, why would I seek medical treatment somewhere I was disrespected?

* Here're the catch, I'm done w/ my treatment in a few months.

i dont really have any advice - personally i would drop it since after you are done with your treatment you only have to go there two times a year its not a monthly thing. . .

but for you anyway!

I know you had a long day Michelle but did you overreact just a little bit? Maybe you went in there all hoity toity like 'do you know who I am?'

Everyone gets treated badly at some point or another... As far as cutting off your nose to spite your face - don't do it... When is your next appt? Can you just ignore her? She's not the one giving you treatment right?

When you have to write her a check to pay your copay or bill or whatever - wipe your @ss with it first, then give it to her. Stuff like that always makes me feel better.

Kidding (but not really)... don't get so upset about it. Not worth the headache... Have a glass of wine or four and watch a movie with your FH... You'll feel better. And tell him to rub your head and run his fingers through your hair!

i would tell him that it is too far for you to travel and that if he doesnt want to lose you as a patient he should consider transfering your files to his other office.. i don't see the big deal.

there is no reason to be so rude!

Wow! I am soo sorry you've had a horrible day. Its almost over though. In regards to the office, you acted like a responsible and concerned customer/patient, i mean you couldve caused a scene in the waiting room. As for the doctor, I think it is absurd that he refuses to see you at his other office. Maybe at your next appointment with him, state calmly that you enjoy going to him and have a repor with his whole staff(minus the newbie) and would love to continue using his services. However, you do not appreciate the lack of respect you receive at this point and the traveling is inconvenient. Again state that you NEED to be seen at his other office, or you'll look into other doctors. Maybe by just saying that he'll give in.
