WTF...Dr Answering service at 9:10?!!!

Their phone hours are supposed to be 8:45.  Sooo annoying.
I HATE the new receptionist at my OB's office.  I'm sure she's in their flipping through a magazine and conveniently "forgot" to take the phone off nights or something.

GRRRR.  I don't want to page the Dr, but at the same time I'd like to just hear that what's going on is no big deal.

Re: WTF...Dr Answering service at 9:10?!!!

  • This has happened to me before - I've also shown up to a locked door and no one answering my knock, so I was late for an appointment.

    It's a total PITA, but I chalk it up to everyone making errors at work some days. I've forgotten about meetings before. Better this than a medical error.

    I saw your earlier post and hope that you get some quick answers and are feeling better soon.

  • Deep breaths, Sandy, deep breaths. 

    I hope the pain goes away soon!

  • I called the Avon office and told them the phones were off and explained my issue to them.  She's having a nurse call back and is gonna page the Hartford Dr to tell him the phones are still off.

    I would say maybe the receptionist is having a bad day- but if you knew the idiot this woman is it's probably just her being lazy.  I am considering leaving the practice after I have this baby just b/c I hate her so much.
  • Sandy what practice do you use if you don't mind my asking?
  • ha ha- what if the receptionist is a Nestie and see's this.  Should I name the practice?  

    Farmington OBGYN.  I go to the Hartford office.  LOVE the Dr's.  LOVED the old receptionist...I want her back.

  • Thats the practice I go to.  I HATE the receptionist.  I feel your pain. 
  • That's funny.   Did you know the other girl that used to be there?  Liz- she was GREAT.  I didn't even have to give my name, she'd hear my voice and say "Hi Sandy!"  Loved her.

    This one still asks for my ins. card when I go in and calls me Sarah even AFTER seeing the name on my card...and she is ALWAYS on a personal call when I am in the office.  moron.   I hope she gets in trouble for not answering the phone. 

  • I just started going there when I got my bfp so I didn't know the old one.  I've just had issues with the one who's there when I've called for test results, to make an appointment etc. 

    The Hartford location is super close to work, but I told DH I want to start going to one of their other ones.
