For many years, I was a patient of Dr. Doris’ and, for years, he was a very good doctor. Recently, however, the wait time in the lobby was getting longer and longer to between 30 and 45 minutes AFTER the appointment time. Then, back to the waiting room with the nurse (or PA, not sure) for a few minutes. Then, another 15-25 minutes to see the doctor for about 5 minutes. So, I asked the woman at the front desk, who told me he was purposely overbooking his schedule. It was clear she was frustrated from constantly fielding customer complaints. She mentioned that other doctors in the office were not that unethical – they valued their patient’s time much more. I wrote to the office manager asking to transfer to another doctor. I received a response that they didn’t allow that. I got a non-apology call from one of Dr. Doris’ minions that basically confirmed what the front desk told me and that, if I didn’t want to wait, I should get an early morning appointment. I decided to give them another chance (with an early morning appointment). I was about to book it when I received a letter in the mail from them stating that I had been discharged. Apparently, Dr. Doris doesn’t like to be reminded of his lack of ethics when it comes to scheduling appointments. He wouldn’t even authorize prescription refills until I could see another doctor, so I ran out of two important medicines. I saw the new doctor today who said that the amount of blood pressure drugs Dr. Doris had prescribed was exorbitant and unnecessary. So, I guess it’s good he got his feelings hurt and kicked me out as I now have what appears to be a much better doctor.
