Was referred to them and when called to set up an appointment they called me by my middle name. This I thought was a wrong number the first 2 times. When in the reception area there was further miscommunication regarding the name of the only other client in the room.
I was asked to come in 15 minutes early, which I thought standard given the times. I wasn't expecting to have to answer an extensive, multi page questionnaire about mine and my families medical history. This was far from sufficient time to fill out the forms. Apparently they email the forms for people to fill out, but this option was not offered to me. Given the nature of the questions this should be mentioned over the phone as standard practice, or ask the patient to come in earlier. Particularly if they have an extensive family medical history.
It would have been nice to be informed that outdoor footwear be removed so a person may prepare for such a request. I would have liked to have at least been able to ask if I could bring in my indoor footwear. The lady in bare feet might have appreciated that as well.
The doctor visit was disappointing. I can accept that what direction I wish to go with my medical treatment might not be what the doctor sees as best. I do have a problem with a professional in mental health not being able to articulate why this opinion was taken and what sort of treatment would be best to seek. I am left with more questions than answers now.
This sort of professionalism leaves much to be desired, on multiple fronts. From booking appointments, to being hospitable and welcoming, to understanding the needs of the patient. I hope your experience is exponentially better than mine should you seek their assistance.
