I am thinking about swithing ob Drs. because I cannot stand the staff?

Question

If I call the nurse acts like I am pulling her out of a good movie to answer my question.. She is just flat out rude What would you do?

Answer 1

I had a situation like that once. I wrote down specifics about what I said & what the staff member said & discussed it with the doctor. He was very appreciative and the next time I went there I was told she had been terminated!!! I was shocked but I probably wasn't the only one complaining. You may talk to the dr about her attitude. If that does't work I would probably switch offices. Good luck!

Answer 2

If you like the dr, I would try talking to him first. Or maybe next time you call and she acts like that, ask her if you interruped her and when she says no, say, "Oh, sorry, it sounded like you were annoyed by me calling." I would be rude back. A couple weeks ago I called my MD about some meds I'm on and the nurse was so rude, and not the first time. I told her off, right then and there and then hung up and refuse to go back!! However I didn't care for the dr so much so it didn't bother me to not go back. It all depends on how you feel about the dr. If you love him and hate to lose him, then I wouldn't let the stupid nurse get in the way, but if you can take or leave him...switch. Good luck!!!

Answer 3

Let the doctor know which nurse is giving you the attitude. If it is every time you call, then it is a problem. If it happened once or twice, maybe the nurse was just strung out. Remember that you are paying money for their time, even if you are not sitting in the office at the moment. Remind them that there is some level of customer service that comes with working in a doctor's office and it is your health and the health of your baby on the line.

If you continue to have problems, report them to your insurance provider and switch doctors. You don't need to be stressed when it comes to medical concerns.

Answer 4

I had been going to a pretty good clinic, but I'm definitely switching now that I have my insurance worked out. The doctors and nurses see so many women every day that I'm just like another face to them. And YES what is with the nursing staff being so put out by actually doing their jobs??!!! It's like, if you don't like working with people, you are in the wrong job honey. I'm not saying they have to be happy and gushy over every girl that comes in, but a little consideration and kindness wouldn't hurt. I'm 6 months now and nervous about switching doctors, but I know I won't feel comfortable with these people around while I"m trying to give birth.

Answer 5

nicely, Champ, if this got here approximately against India i think of they might advance an excellent hullabaloo approximately how the DRS is undesirable and incorrect and blah blah blah and that it relatively is going to no longer be used - and this hypothetical problem would be rather counterproductive for cricket. because of the fact you spot DRS isn't the subject. The howlers given by utilising the on-field umpires exhibit the reality that DRS is mandatory. it relatively is the applying of DRS this is the subject, and that needs to be addressed at cutting-edge. EDIT: @ TJ - however the DRS and the technologies itself is high quality so some distance as removing howlers pass. it relatively is the umpires who're complicating the subject by utilising no longer enforcing the DRS properly. The technologies has given sufficient info to "supply" the "maximum appropriate" selection and overturn the unique one, however the umpire did no longer gain this. the errors right this is human errors on the umpire's section in no longer utilising DRS properly, no longer DRS itself. i'm rather baffled as to why that's going on so usually in this Ashes sequence, because of the fact i even have not considered such adverse application of the DRS earlier, and that's asserting something because of the fact England incredibly plenty use the DRS in all its sequence (apart from vs India) - so possibly that's that this cutting-edge set of officiating umpires who're only no longer experienced sufficient with the DRS?!

Answer 6

switch doctors!!!!! my doctor was quick, never wanted to discuss anything and when i called the office they acted like they never knew what i was talking about. I was also having pain in my stomach and back and they didn't want to help me figure out what it was. They just said take some mylanta, which didn't help and they wouldn't allow me to get an ultrasound to see if it was my gallbladder or something else. I just switched at 30 weeks pregnant. I'm 32 weeks now and I'm very happy with the new doctor!! You have to make a choice and that choice has to be for a different doctor that you'll be more comfortable with. Ask friends and family who have been pregnant and see who they recommend. Good Luck!

Answer 7

Nurses are a pain in the ***. They are just probably tired of answering the same stupid questions all day everyday, but hey, that's their job so they should be nice..I'd require proper phone attention and If I feel she's being rude I would say something to your dr's the next appt...if he doesn't seem concerned at all or ignores your comments I would defenately switch...I'm paying for it so why should I receive bad treatment from the stuff.

Answer 8

Talk to the Dr. about it first. Most Dr.s will "chew some @ss" if they knew you wanted to switch because of their staff. But unless some one tells him, how else will he know. I went to a great Dr. who got mad if a patient was in the waiting room for more then 20 min. Talk to him first, if it doesn't change go else where. You pay good money not to have to put up with rudeness. Plus being pregnant makes you emotional enough, you don't need more.

Answer 9

I hate it when I feel like I'm interrupting someone to get them to do their JOB. A lot of people have that attitude nowadays.

Seriously, talk to the doctor about it next time you go. Tell him/her that it's really bothering you ... last time I complained about a nurse the doctor actually had NO idea it was a problem. He talked to her and she straightened up really quick.

So tell your doctor that you're thinking about switching because of it, and you'd like him to make sure it doesn't happen again. If she STILL does it, you can switch with a clear conscience, knowing you gave them a chance to shape up. If it comes to that, write the doctor a letter letting them know your decision.

Then find a new doctor.

Answer 10

Definitely switch offices. I've worked in customer service for over 4 years and I would NEVER treat anyone with disrespect, which is how she's treating you. You are paying for their service so you should get the level you expect. Best of luck to you!
