[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I once walked out of the exam room after waiting 45 mins to see the doctor.  I got dressed, told the front desk it was unacceptable to leave me waiting in the exam room for 45 mins in a gown. They sent me a bill for $100 for the exam- even though there was no medical exam. I posted about my experience on Yelp which was my only leverage. I had a feeling I would hear from their office regarding my negative (but factual) review.  They asked me to take it down, I told them I would only take it down if they voided my $100 bogus medical bill. In retrospect I should have kept my review up and gone after him via the insurance company but I just wanted to be done with it.   [/quote]

Why is it “unacceptable?” Were you going to be late for your next thing? Or were you just mad at the lack of communication? Strategically, if it was the former you should have come out calmly and explained that you couldn’t wait any more. I bet they would have let you skate on the exam fee if you were understanding and kind, even if it was fake. If it was the latter, why not just pop out and say it had been a long time and could you get an estimated time? I’m sure the doctor was with another patient or whatever. They should have told you but maybe they’re not staffed to have someone for that.

I don’t get the taking offense and the hissy fit. What’s the point? What do you gain?[/quote]
