Doctor Vent

Today I had my evaluation appointment for LASIK. I made the appointment about a month ago, and this was the first available date they had. It was a disaster from the start.

Because of traffic, it took me about 45 min to get there, which I expected, but it's still a long way out of my way. When I showed up, their parking lot was full, so I had to park on the street. No big deal, whatever. I get there, fill out my paperwork, take a seat. Half an hour after my scheduled appointment time, not a single person in the packed waiting room has been called back, so I asked them how long they thought it would be. They said an hour and a half. Um, what?? 2 hours in your waiting room so that I could see the doctor for 12 minutes, and then pay you literally thousands of dollars for Lasik? No, thank you. He was not called into an emergency surgery or anything. This is "just the way he is." Mind you, they did not warn me that he was running late when I called 45 min before my appointment. Guess I'm taking my business elsewhere. I'm just pissed that I wasted 2 hours out of my work day on that.

  • That is horrible and just not cool. Especially since it sounds like he is always running late. How did you get refereed to him? Is he supposed to be amazing? Still not cool..
  • I don't blame you one bit.  I get pissed if I have to wait 15 mins for a doctor!
  • I would be finding someone else as well. I get that sometimes there is a back up and appointments run late, but two hours, without warning and he's "just like that". No way.

    100% agreed.  At least its good you found out now, right?

  • SO glad I found out now. I actually found him through a Living Social deal, and checked out his reviews. They were all 5 stars. Fortunately, I didn't actually buy the living social deal.
