First of all, when I was referred to this doctor I had a telephone consult with his fellow (unsure of name). It was long and thought at the time it was thorough. Was told I would hear back in 1-2 weeks with a scope date and would be immediately consulted to a dietician to help with my symptoms, and if I got worse in the mean time to call the office. 3 weeks later, after hearing nothing and having any symptoms get significantly worse, I called the receptionist and could not get through, left multiple messages. When I finally heard back she said I would have to go through my non-existent family doctor to have a new referral and there was nothing she could do. I was currently a patient of theirs. After multiple phone calls to her I got a phone appt 1.5 months later with dr peltekian, only to find out my entire file from that appt was lost, I was never referred to anyone or placed on a scope list. Dr Peltekian apologized. I had a scope a few weeks later, was told I would hear about the biopsy results in 2-3 weeks. 1 month later I called to ask about biopsy results and was told they were sent to my NON-EXISTENT family doctor. They eventually had a phone call appt with me to discuss the biopsy, where I was told it “wasn’t cancer so not to worry.” I asked what it was and how I was to deal with the symptoms and he said “It’s not cancer I don’t know what you mean”. Extremely frustrated with this I believed I was to live with my symptoms. 7 months later I have a family doctor, she was appalled that I wasn’t told the scope showed I have ulcerative colitis, not medicated or followed up with. I am now being referred to a different GI doctor to start all over.
